What Is TradeLog?
TradeLog is specialized tax reporting software for active traders. It focuses on organizing trade history, handling trader-specific headaches, and producing reporting outputs that make tax prep more manageable.
Dividend capture can create lots of short holding periods and repeat trades — which can get messy fast. TradeLog exists for that mess.
