Step 1/3: Choose a portfolio to import
- Upload your existing portfolio CSV file. Please note that there is a limit of approximately 50 symbols/instruments per import to a portfolio.

The CVS file must include the following columns:
- Instrument's identifier - name/symbol/ISIN.
- The position's open price.
- The position's amount (the size of the position, or the number of stocks).

It is highly recommended that the columns show up in the portfolio in this specific order. It is recommended also to upload other columns: type - BUY (Long position) or SELL (Short position), commission, etc.
