# E\*TRADE Positions CSV Instructions

{% hint style="info" %}
You only use this Positions CSV file from E\*TRADE when adding an account. Importing transactions day-to-day going forward is another CSV, which has its own (very simple) instructions.
{% endhint %}

**1. Go to etrade.com and navigate to the Portfolios page, on the Positions tab (Step 1 in screenshot below).**

**2. Select only one account at a time (Step 2 in screenshot below).**

Make sure you have the columns: "Symbol", "Price Paid $", and "Qty #". It's ok if you have more than that.

**3. Export this to a CSV (Step 3 in screenshot below).**

**4. Choose "Collapsed View" and "All Positions" on this popup window. This is now the file you will upload to Wingman.**\
Remember: You only use this CSV to create the account, as it snapshots your current holdings. The CSV file you will use comes from a different place going forward for transaction activity.
