capital.comExporting transaction history from Capital.com
Capital.com is a CySEC-regulated CFD trading platform. We support two formats: CSV (Leveraged Trades / Transactions, sent via email) and PDF Trading Statement (downloadable directly from your client area). Importing either one for the full tax year is enough.
Log in to your Capital.com account via a web browser.
In the left navigation panel, click "Reports".
For CSV: open the "Activity" tab — full position-operation history.
For PDF: open "Statements" / "Trading Statement" — the export contains a "Ledger movement" table covering every account activity.
Set the date range to cover the full tax year (e.g., 01/01/2025 – 12/31/2025) or the longest period available.
For CSV, click "Send report" — the report will be emailed to you. For PDF, click "Download".
If it's the emailed CSV — right-click the link and choose "Save link as..." (do not open it directly in the browser).
The CSV file may be named like "leveraged_trades_history_DD.MM.YYYY-DD.MM.YYYY.csv". The PDF is typically named "Trading Statement.pdf" or "Statement.pdf". Do not modify either before importing. Export data for the full tax year so the calculator can properly process all closed positions. If you only have the PDF, import it directly — the parser will read the Ledger movement table.
Capital.com sends the report via email — do not click the link directly in the browser as it will display raw CSV text. Use "Save link as..." to download the file. Capital.com does not include ISIN numbers in the export — the instrument country will be automatically determined for popular stocks (e.g., NVDA → US). For commodities (e.g., Gold) and unrecognized symbols, the country will remain unknown — you can set it manually in the calculator.
