Convert Tastytrade Statements to Excel

Upload your monthly Tastytrade PDF statement and get Trade History, Positions, and Futures sections extracted into Excel or CSV, row by row.

Tastytrade's monthly account statement is a multi-section PDF that packs Account Summary, Cash Balance, Trade History, Positions, and (for futures traders) a separate Futures Statements block into one document — each with different column layouts. Copy-pasting from the PDF usually breaks the OCC option symbol format and misaligns columns between sections. pdfexcel.ai reads the statement with AI, keeps each section's fields intact, and outputs a structured spreadsheet with one row per fill or position so you can reconcile P&L, feed a trading journal, or prep tax records without retyping data.

Who This Is For

  • Options traders reconciling monthly P&L against their own tracking spreadsheet
  • Tax preparers pulling trade history alongside 1099-B data for wash sale review
  • Bookkeepers who track a client's futures and options activity separately
  • Active traders migrating years of Tastytrade history into a personal database

When This Is Relevant

  • Tax season, when you need trade-by-trade detail to check against your 1099
  • End-of-month reconciliation of realized and open P&L across multiple accounts
  • Building a year-long dataset from 12 individual monthly PDF statements
  • Auditing futures margin and position data reported in a separate statement section

Supported Inputs

  • Digital Tastytrade monthly statement PDFs downloaded from the platform
  • Scanned or printed-to-PDF copies of statements
  • PNG or JPEG screenshots of statement pages
  • Photos of printed statement pages

Expected Outputs

  • Excel (.xlsx) file with one row per trade, fill, or position
  • CSV file for import into a trading journal or accounting tool
  • Structured spreadsheet separating Trade History, Positions, and Futures sections when present

Common Challenges

  • The OCC option symbol format (21 characters: root, expiration, type, strike) gets mangled into extra spaces or split cells when copy-pasted directly from the PDF
  • Multi-leg strategies like iron condors or verticals print as separate line items in Trade History with no built-in grouping, so each leg needs its own row
  • Futures Statements use different columns (Contract, Expiration, Exchange) than the equity/options Positions table, and both can appear in the same PDF
  • Statements printed to PDF from a browser sometimes shift column widths, causing tools like Acrobat's table export to misread which value belongs to Qty vs. Price

How It Works

  1. Upload one or more Tastytrade monthly statement PDFs (batch upload works for multiple months at once)
  2. The AI identifies and separates Trade History, Positions, and Futures Statements sections automatically
  3. Select or customize which fields to extract — Symbol, Expiration, Strike, Type, Qty, Price, P/L Open, P/L Day
  4. Export to Excel or CSV with one row per trade or position, ready for a trading journal or tax worksheet

Why PDFexcel.ai

  • Preserves the OCC option symbol structure instead of splitting it across cells the way manual copy-paste does
  • Batch processes a full year of monthly statements in one pass instead of opening each PDF individually
  • Custom field selection lets you pull just the Trade History table or just the Futures section, not the whole document
  • OCR handles printed-to-PDF or scanned copies when the original digital statement isn't available

Limitations

  • Multi-leg option strategies extract as individual leg rows — there's no automatic grouping into a single strategy line
  • Futures Statements columns differ from the options/equity Positions table, so you may need to run a separate field mapping for that section
  • The bottom-of-statement Profit and Loss summary table can be complex enough to require a manual check on nested subtotals
  • Accuracy depends on statement quality — a low-resolution phone photo of a printed statement will extract less reliably than the original PDF

Example Use Cases

  • Reconciling a year of realized P&L across 12 monthly Tastytrade statements before filing taxes
  • Feeding extracted Trade History rows into a personal trading journal spreadsheet
  • Comparing broker-reported option fills against your own cost-basis tracking sheet
  • Pulling futures margin and position data from the Futures Statements section for a risk review

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it correctly read Tastytrade's option symbol format?

It's built to keep the OCC 21-character option symbol (root ticker, expiration date, call/put, strike price) intact as extracted, rather than splitting it into fragments the way raw copy-paste from a PDF often does. You can also request it be broken into separate columns for Expiration, Type, and Strike.

Can I convert 12 months of statements at once?

Yes, batch processing lets you upload multiple monthly PDFs together and get a combined or separate spreadsheet output for each, which is useful when reconciling a full tax year of activity.

Will it separate the Futures Statements section from Positions and Trade History?

The AI identifies each section of the statement separately since they use different column layouts. You can extract Trade History, Positions, and Futures Statements into distinct sheets or rows rather than one merged table.

Does the output calculate wash sales or cost basis for me?

No. It extracts the fields as they appear on the statement (trades, quantities, prices, dates) into rows — it doesn't perform tax calculations like wash sale adjustments, which need to be done separately or by a tax tool.
