Explanation
Each start of the app creates a new Excel.
If the trading log is not open in the TWS, only the current day is exported.
If the trading log is opened in the TWS, all trades visible there are exported, i.e. a maximum of 7 days.
If a trade consists of multiple options, e.g. a bull put spread, there will be two lines with the same date and the same Perm Id.
Applications
