Reading Old Trade Files

Hi - I have these old TradeActivityLog files from 2024 in the .data format. I no longer have the login and account associated with the trades in those files. I'm logged in on SierraChart now in a new account, and so it seems like it won't be able to read the old trade activity logs from that old account. However, I want to try to get the trades that were taken in a few certain months from that file. Is there a way I can extract that data from these files?

As long as those files are in the /TradeActivityLogs subfolder, they can be read by Sierra Chart. Just configure the Trade Activity Log to the settings that you need:
