Hyperliquid Trading Journal: Import Your Fills and Track Real PnL by Session

How to export and import your Hyperliquid trades

The full export walkthrough, including the API route for longer histories and how to deal with the row cap, is in our guide to Hyperliquid trade history export. In short: connect the wallet you traded with, open Trade History (not Funding History) and click Export as CSV.

Check the file has fill columns such as time, coin, direction, price, size and closed PnL.

Import the file into Tessera

These are the steps from the Tessera help centre, as of November 2026.

1. Choose Hyperliquid, then CSV import.
2. Enter an account name: how this wallet should appear in Tessera.
3. Set the timezone (an IANA name such as Etc/UTC or Europe/London) to match the time column in the export. Check one fill against the time shown in the Hyperliquid app if you are not sure.
4. Upload the Trade History CSV and import.

What Tessera reads from the file

• Fills. Each row is a fill, not a trade. Tessera pairs open and close fills per coin, first in, first out within each side, to rebuild round trips.
• Direction (Open Long, Close Long, Open Short, Close Short), which tells Tessera whether a fill adds to or reduces a position.
• Closed PnL on the closing fills, which Tessera uses as realised P&L.
• Coin, price, size and time for each fill.
• Asset class: always crypto on this import.

Funding History, deposits and withdrawals are separate files and are not part of the import. A funding-only CSV cannot stand in for Trade History.

What you can analyse

• Core statistics: win rate, expectancy, profit factor, average win and loss, and drawdown. See trading expectancy for how to read the first one.
• 24/7 sessions. Crypto never closes, but liquidity does not stay flat. P&L by hour and by Asia, London and New York session shows whether your bot earns its keep in the busy overlap or bleeds through the quiet hours.
• Weekends. Weekday breakdowns include Saturday and Sunday, which is often where thin books, wider spreads and sudden moves change a strategy's results.
• Volatility and market regime. Trades grouped by the conditions at entry, using historical crypto candles, so you can see whether the strategy needs trend and movement or prefers ranges.
• MAE and MFE. How far each trade went against and in favour of you, where candle data covers the coin and period.
• Rule simulator. Replay the trades you took on real candles with an hour filter or a different stop or target, and compare the result before you change the bot.

Limitations

• CSV only. There is no wallet or API sync for Hyperliquid in Tessera.
• Funding is not included. Funding payments come in a separate Funding History file, which Tessera does not import, so P&L in Tessera is trading P&L before funding. For strategies that hold positions for days, work out funding separately; the export guide shows how.
• Row caps on Hyperliquid's side. If you wait too long between exports, older fills can fall outside the downloadable window.
• Perps lane. The import is built for Hyperliquid perpetuals. Spot and HIP-3 markets may need checking after import, and coins outside Tessera's instrument registry may need mapping or a support request.
• Trading P&L only. Portfolio growth shows cumulative trading P&L, not a wallet balance.
• Plan. The Free plan imports the last 30 days of trades for one broker account into the trade log. Full history, statistics, reports and the simulator need a paid plan, from $39 a month. The free Entry Analysis report needs no paid plan.

Switching from TradeZella, TraderSync or Edgewonk

Journals built for stocks and futures often have no Hyperliquid import at all, so traders end up reformatting the CSV by hand. In Tessera the Trade History export goes straight in.

The bigger difference is what you get from it. Tessera is built for automated and systematic traders: results by market condition and hour, with the sample size behind each figure, and a simulator for testing a filter on the trades you already took.
