Journal your NinjaTrader and Tradovate trades.
Traders Journal reads the trade history you export from NinjaTrader or Tradovate — instrument, side, quantity, entry and exit, timestamps, fees and realised P/L — and turns each row into a journal entry you can review with notes, screenshots and analytics.
- Statement import
- Available now
- Trade Auto Sync
- Live for Tradovate
Connect Tradovate and new fills, orders and open positions arrive on their own. Tradovate serves the current trading day, so older history still comes in by file. NinjaTrader auto sync is not available yet — its history imports by file today.
Traders Journal is a journaling and review tool. It does not place, modify, cancel or route orders, and it never asks for your platform login.

Questions before you import
What does Traders Journal import from NinjaTrader or Tradovate?
The trade history you export yourself: instrument, side, quantity, entry and exit prices, timestamps, fees, and realised P/L. Each row becomes a journal entry you can annotate and analyse.
Can Tradovate sync automatically instead of by file?
Yes. Tradovate auto sync is live: connect once through Tradovate’s own login and new fills, orders and open positions arrive on their own. Tradovate’s API serves the current trading day only, so anything older still comes in by statement import. NinjaTrader auto sync is not available yet.
Do I need to share my platform login?
No. Statement import works from a file you export and upload. Tradovate auto sync uses Tradovate’s own read-only login screen — your password is typed on Tradovate, never given to Traders Journal, and the connection cannot place or change orders.
Does Traders Journal place or manage trades in my account?
No. Traders Journal is a journaling, analytics, and review tool. It does not place, modify, cancel, or route orders, and it does not hold or handle funds.
What happens if I import the same file twice?
Incoming trades are checked against what is already in your journal before anything is saved, so re-importing an overlapping export does not create duplicates.
