    • Open Positions
    • Trades > Orders
  5. Under the "Delivery configuration" area, make sure the Output Format is set to "XML".
  6. Change the Period drop-down to "Year to Date" or "Last 365 Calendar Days".
  7. Click "Continue" and then "Create" to save this new query.

Step 2.2: Finding the Query ID number

  1. Go back to the main "Flex Queries" page again.
  2. Find the new query you just created and click the info icon on the left side of it.
  3. On the next screen, look for the number labeled "Query ID". Copy this number. This is your Query ID!

You're all done! Now just paste your Token and your Query ID into the Settings window in the app.
