+# Sync Private Trading Data
+
+You can use the following configuration (add this to your bbgo.yaml) to sync your private trading data, like closed orders and trades:
+
+```yaml
+sync:
+  # since is the date you want to start sync
+  since: 2019-11-01
+  
+  # if you have multiple sessions defined, but you don't want to sync all sessions, you can define a list here
+  sessions:
+  - binance
+  - max
+  
+  # symbols is the symbol you want to sync
+  # If not defined, BBGO will try to guess your symbols by your existing account balances
+  symbols:
+  - BTCUSDT
+  - ETHUSDT
+  - LINKUSDT
+```
+
+Then you can start syncing by running the following command:
+
+```shell
+bbgo sync --config config/bbgo.yaml
+```
+
+Or just (if you have bbgo.yaml is the current working directory):
+
+```shell
+bbgo sync
+```
