SYNC BROKER, EXPORT, and paper kept apart from live
SYNC BROKER carries your broker's name. It imports trades you placed directly in your broker's own platform into the desk's live records. The desk's own fills are already recorded, and are skipped, so syncing again never duplicates a trade.

SYNC BROKER
SYNC BROKER carries your broker's name. It imports trades you placed directly in your broker's own platform into the desk's live records. The desk's own fills are already recorded, and are skipped, so syncing again never duplicates a trade. Fees are not imported: your broker's statement remains the record of money. Reading those records back, in JOURNAL and ANALYSE, comes with the full version only.
EXPORT
EXPORT writes a zip of the day's logs, trade records and settings, beside the program: everything needed to look into a session later. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. The file stays on your PC. Use it when a session needs a closer look, for example after a bad fill.
Paper and live, apart
In paper, your trades are recorded as paper trades. Live trades are recorded as live ones. So your live record holds only live fills, and paper never enters it.
Always separate
The header's realized net only ever counts the mode you are in. So a paper result can never make a live day look better, or worse, than it was. Paper and live results never add together in any total.
Costs you control
Costs come from the commission schedule you enter in the BROKER window, so keep it up to date, and check it against your broker's statement when anything changes. Costs are part of every net you see, in the header and the CLOSED window.
