NinjaTrader trading journal

Bring NinjaTrader executions into your journal with a CSV import or an API key.

Toreda imports your NinjaTrader futures trades two ways. You can upload an execution CSV into a NinjaTrader account, or generate an API key and send fills from your own NinjaTrader 8 script or add-on.

Unlike Tradovate or the ProjectX firms, NinjaTrader is a desktop platform, so there is no broker login to authorize. New to the platform? Read the NinjaTrader platform page.

Option 1: CSV import

Create a NinjaTrader account in Toreda (it is listed as "Manual account + CSV import"), then import your export on the Trades page. Toreda reads each execution, pairs entries with exits using NinjaTrader's position column, and builds one trade per round trip.

  • Reads instrument, action, quantity, price, time and commission from each execution.
  • Pairs fills into closed trades with entry, exit, side and size.
  • Carries commissions into each trade's fees.
  • Skips trades you have already imported, and shows a preview before anything is saved.

Option 2: API key sync

In Settings, under API & Integrations, you can create an API key with a label such as "NT8 - Home PC". You can use that key to send fills to Toreda from your own NinjaTrader 8 script or add-on; see the API setup guide. Toreda does not ship an add-on download. The key is shown only once, so store it securely.

The matching account is created the first time Toreda sees a new account name (for example Sim101). Fills are de-duplicated by execution ID, so re-sending the same fills is safe.
