# Data Upload Functionality

Trajour provides two primary methods for uploading your trading data: **CSV Upload** and **Manual Form Entry**. This guide explains both methods.

## CSV Upload

The CSV Upload feature allows you to bulk import your trades by uploading the order book or trade book exported directly from your broker.

### Supported Brokers

Currently, the following brokers and their respective CSV export formats are supported:

### 1. Zerodha
The parser expects the standard trade book export with the following CSV columns:
`symbol,isin,trade_date,exchange,segment,series,trade_type,auction,quantity,price,trade_id,order_id,order_execution_time,expiry_date`

**Example Row:**
```csv
BANKNIFTY22O0639000CE,,2022-10-04,NSE,FO,,buy,false,25.000000,316.750000,431747810,1500000023632188,2022-10-04T09:55:21,2022-10-06
```

While the parser expects this full structure, the essential columns extracted for processing are `symbol`, `trade_type`, `quantity`, `price`, `order_id`, and `order_execution_time`.

### 2. Kotak Neo
The parser auto-detects and supports two different Kotak Neo CSV formats:
- **Trades Format:** The standard trade format. Essential columns include `Security Name`, `Transaction Type`, `Quantity`, `Market Rate`, `Trade Date`, and `Order Time`.
- **Orders Format:** The detailed order-level format. Essential columns include `Name`, `Transaction Type`, `Filled Quantity`, `Average Price` (or `Order Price`), `Order Date and Time`, and `Order Number`.

### How it Works

When you upload a CSV file from a supported broker, the system automatically parses the data, identifying positions and individual orders.

During this process, the system uses a symbol normalization engine to ensure that F&O (Futures & Options) instruments from different brokers are converted into a single, broker-agnostic canonical form. This ensures that deduplication and position tracking work seamlessly regardless of which broker you use.

For detailed technical information on how symbols are processed, please refer to the [Symbol Normalization Document](symbol-normalization.md).

## Manual Form Upload

If you prefer to enter trades manually or if you are using an unsupported broker, you can use the Manual Form entry feature.
