NinjaTrader trading journal

Power your NinjaTrader analysis with Imperial Analytics. Export your trade history and unlock AI-driven insights that professionals use. Automatic trade reconstruction, behavioral pattern detection, and institutional-grade performance metrics.

Built for NinjaTrader power users

Understands NT Format

Our parser handles NinjaTrader's multi-fill export format. Partial entries and exits are reconstructed into complete, accurate trade records.

Millisecond Precision

NinjaTrader exports exact timestamps for every fill. We preserve that precision, enabling accurate holding time and bar-count analysis.

Multi-Contract Support

Trade ES, NQ, CL, GC, options, and more. Imperial Analytics' instrument database covers all CME futures and most equity symbols.

How to import from NinjaTrader

1

Open NinjaTrader's Export Tool

In NinjaTrader 8, navigate to Tools → Export. Select Account Trades or Account Performance.

Tools → Export → Account Trades/Performance

2

Select Date Range and Format

Choose your date range (e.g., last month, last year, all-time). Ensure the export format is CSV. The file will include all your fills, timestamps, commissions, and P&L data.

3

Download and Upload to Imperial

Once exported, log into Imperial Analytics and click Import Trades. Drop your NinjaTrader CSV into the uploader. Our system auto-detects the format and begins processing.

4

AI Analysis Begins Instantly

Within seconds, your trades are reconstructed, commissions applied, and AI agents analyze your trading behavior, execution quality, and performance patterns.

Intelligent trade reconstruction

NinjaTrader exports each fill as a separate line item. For a typical entry with multiple partial fills and a staggered exit, you might see 6+ rows in the CSV. Imperial Analytics reconstructs the complete trade journey:

Entry 1: ES 100 contracts @ 4500.00
Entry 2: ES 50 contracts @ 4501.25 (2 min later)
Exit 1: ES 75 contracts @ 4503.50 (30 min hold)
Exit 2: ES 75 contracts @ 4504.00 (35 min hold)

Imperial Reconstruction:

✓ Complete Trade: 150 ES entered, 150 ES exited
✓ Accurate Avg Entry: 4500.83 (weighted)
✓ Accurate Avg Exit: 4503.83 (weighted)
✓ Trade Duration: 35 minutes (first entry to last exit)
✓ Net P&L: $1,500 (before commissions)

FIFO Accounting

Imperial uses First-In-First-Out accounting, matching your earliest fills to your earliest exits. This aligns with tax compliance and industry standards.

CME Trading Days

Sunday evening trades correctly appear on Monday. Saturday sessions are locked. Your calendar aligns with actual market hours, not UTC midnight.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import historical NinjaTrader data from months or years ago?

Yes. NinjaTrader's export tool lets you select any historical date range. You can import your entire trading history as far back as NinjaTrader has data. Each import deduplicates, so re-importing overlapping dates won't create duplicates.

What if I traded options in NinjaTrader?

Futures options are supported. The import captures contract specifications and P&L. A dedicated options module with multi-leg attribution is coming in 2026.

Does NinjaTrader's simulator mode get imported?

No. Imperial Analytics is designed for live or prop firm account data. Simulator trades are excluded to keep your analytics focused on real capital decisions.

If I switch brokers, can I re-import under a new account?

Yes. You can import NinjaTrader trades under one Imperial account, and other broker trades under separate accounts. You can also consolidate imports under a single account for portfolio-level metrics.
