NinjaTrader trading journal
you actually own

Supported NinjaTrader brokerage accounts sync through Tradovate account access. Every position becomes a trade note stored on your computer, in files you own.

How NinjaTrader connects

Exactly what is supported

The same facts we maintain for support, published instead of hidden. If something here is wrong, it is a bug.

What gets captured

  • The same position lifecycle, history options, and catch-up behaviour as Tradovate Trade Sync
  • Your thesis, notes, tags, screenshots, reviews, and custom fields are never replaced by broker updates

Account types

  • NinjaTrader brokerage accounts with Tradovate account access

Honest limitations

  • Only NinjaTrader brokerage accounts that use Tradovate account access are supported; the connection is approved through Tradovate
  • There is no standalone NinjaTrader file-import guide today; accounts without Tradovate access are not yet supported
  • Connection management and synchronisation require an eligible Journalit plan

Your trade history stays on your computer

NinjaTrader activity becomes trade notes stored as plain files on your device, inside Obsidian, the free note-taking app Journalit runs on. Your thesis, tags, screenshots, reviews, and custom fields are never replaced by broker updates.

Before you connect NinjaTrader

NinjaTrader brokerage accounts that use Tradovate account access. The connection is approved through Tradovate, then managed and mapped in Journalit exactly like a Tradovate connection.

Not automatically yet. There is no standalone NinjaTrader file-import guide today. You can enter trades manually, or use Trade Import if your data reaches a supported broker export format.

No. Broker updates never replace your thesis, notes, tags, screenshots, reviews, or custom fields.

Yes. Journalit runs inside Obsidian, a free note-taking app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. That is what keeps your journal as plain files on your own device instead of rows in our database. If you have never used Obsidian, setup takes a few minutes: install the free app, then add the Journalit plugin.
