There are a few steps: Step 1: Go to Trade Activity Log -> Trade Activity, Select 'All Symbols (Non-Sim)', and press 'Apply' button and then Export to a .txt log file, (Step 1 modified, thank User459170 for finding the issue) Step 2: Open exported .txt log file in a spreadsheet program, like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice, don't let spreadsheet program auto detect time and date, Step 3: Replace everything in the 'TradeAccount' column with string 'Sim1' (without quotation marks) Step 4: Add string '[Sim]' to the all the symbols in the 'Symbol' column, i.e. ESM2 will be [Sim]ESM2 Step 5: Save the modified log file as a .csv file, field separated by [TAB], change ext. from .csv to .txt Step 6: Back to Trade Activity Log and import modified log file If you are into coding, Step 2 ~ 5 could be done by a Macro, both Microsoft and LibreOffice support OO BASIC language It may or may not work depends on your OS or broker Good luck Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-05-22 23:58:27

This was an amazing solution for a long desired feature. Thanks a ton Tony!! .txt file messed up the time for me. So I exported as .csv (which retains UTC), made the changes and imported it back. Thanks again for a great solution! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-05-21 19:11:20

Have you chosen the Trade Activity tab in the trade activity log?

As User459170 noted, the 'Trade Activity' should be selected all the time during the process, your attached image shows the 'Trades' tab is selected as the asterisk sign at top left corner indicates.

Regarding this, refer to:
Replaying Charts: Replaying Non-Simulated / Live Order Fills Thank you so much. When replaying continuous futures charts, is there a way to show trades of past contracts without changing the symbol? |

You need to be on the latest version for this. This doesn't seem to be working for me. I am testing this using version 2411. How can I fix this? |

I have saved trade activity everyday. How can I combine all into one txt file for import? I try to import and SC won't accept it because it is not properly format. Is there a way to combine all txt files as one for import?

You definitely can put all of the order fill history into a single file and import that. It is not a problem. The format needs to be just the same format as you see when exporting the order fill data from the Trade Activity Log. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

User353062, You need to 'File->Export' instead of 'File->Save Log As' if you will import those logs in a later time, then you can import those exported-logs one after another, no need to combine them first. It's probably easier to back up your log once a week than once a day. |
