What it is
Tessera’s TradingView Paper Trading lane imports Paper Trading → Order History CSV exports. There is no live sync - every update is a new file upload. Use this for simulated fills from TradingView’s built-in paper account, not Strategy Tester backtests.
This is a separate lane from TradingView Backtest (Strategy Tester List of Trades).
What you can do
- Import Paper Trading Order History CSVs
- Label the account, timezone, asset classes, and executing broker (usually Paper)
- Capture stop-loss and take-profit levels when bracket Limit/Stop orders appear near an entry
- Re-import when you add more paper trades
How it works
Export from TradingView
- Open TradingView and switch the trading panel to Paper Trading.
- Open Order History (full history / all orders - not a single open position view).
- Export / download CSV. Prefer exporting with all columns enabled so Limit price, Stop price, Fill price, Status, and times are present.
Confirm the chart / Paper Trading timezone before exporting - timestamps in the file follow that setting.
Do not use Strategy Tester → List of Trades for this lane.
Import into Tessera
On every import Tessera asks for:
- Account name - how this paper account appears in Tessera
- Timezone - IANA zone matching the file times
- Asset classes - what you paper-trade (FX, crypto, equity, etc.)
- Executing broker name - usually `Paper` or `TradingView Paper`
Upload the Order History CSV and import. Symbols come from the file (`EXCHANGE:SYMBOL`); Tessera stores the symbol part (e.g. `OANDA:XAUUSD` → `XAUUSD`).
Filled orders are paired per symbol (FIFO). When a Limit (take-profit) and/or Stop (stop-loss) bracket was placed near the entry, Tessera attaches those levels to the trade when possible.
After import
- Re-export and re-import for new fills.
- Analytics use trading PnL only - see Portfolio growth.
- For Strategy Tester backtests, use TradingView Backtest instead.
Limitations
- CSV only - no automatic sync.
- Wrong timezone on import mislabels every trade.
- SL/TP appear only when bracket Limit/Stop orders are present in the export near the entry; market-only flips have no protective levels.
- TradingView may limit how much history a single export includes - export regularly if you trade often.
- Requires an active subscription.
