Post From: Trade Activity Log - importing symbols with fractions in price not populating

I am using two computers (a laptop while traveling, and a desktop otherwise) to trade a single account. To populate the missing orders on each computer's trade activity log I am using the export and import function to save time over the manual insert entry.

Two issues with importing Trade Activity Log:


1) When importing an instrument with price fractions (i.e. ZB, 30 year bond), the fraction part is not populated on the import.
Example: Entry price is 164 12/32.... the imported entry price shows 164 0/32. Only the whole number portion is being transferred. The exported text file contains the complete price however. I manually edited each fill record in in the trade activity log to correct the missing fraction, but is there a more efficient solution?


2) My DTS time zone is set to New York (-5 EST /-4 EDT), on both computers. The exported trade activity log txt file outputs the order fills in this time zone... however the import fill records are in UTC. How do I get the time to stay consistent?

Thank you
