      What is the correct order for uploading positions and transactions?

      Because illio treats positions and transactions differently, it is important to understand how to upload them properly. 

      When you begin using illio, we recommend using one of two methods to get a historically and fully accurate representation of your portfolio

      1. You can upload your portfolio starting from a certain date. This can be a date that is not the original inception date of your brokerage account. Meaning, as of this date you have existing positions from previous trades.

        If you choose this option, you need to upload your positions as of that date, and then upload all the transactions / trades you have performed until today. Cash is also a position, so make sure to upload your cash positions too.

      2. If you want to record your portfolio history since your brokerage account inception, i,e. when you first started trading, then you need to upload every transaction / trade that has ever occurred, and this includes the initial cash deposit that you made into your brokerage account.
