# Export trade history

> Download real trades as Generic CSV or a tax-tool CSV.

Send `/export` to download real trading history. Paper trades are excluded.

## Download a file

    If you are practicing, switch from Paper to a real profile first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Export">
    Send `/export` and choose a format.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the format">
    Select **Generic CSV** for a spreadsheet or **Koinly CSV** for a compatible tax-tool import.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and check">
    Download the Telegram file named like **cove-trades-generic-YYYY-MM-DD.csv**. Check its date range, wallet coverage, and values before relying on it.

## What is included?

**Generic CSV** includes Date, Side, Token, Chain, Amount, Price (USD), Total (USD), USDC Amount, Fee (USD), Cost Basis (USD), Realized PnL (USD), Order Type, and TX Hash.

**Koinly CSV** uses fields such as Date, Sent/Received amounts and currencies, Fee, Net Worth, Label, Description, and TxHash.

The file is an activity record, not a determination of tax treatment. Check the receiving tool's import mapping and avoid importing the same rows twice.

## Check the export scope

Check which profiles and dates your downloaded file includes. If you need a complete account export, including archived profiles, confirm the scope with [Support](/features/support) before assuming nothing is missing.

**No trades found to export** can mean no eligible real trade history. Check Paper mode and the intended account. For visual results, use [History](/features/history).
