Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NinjaTrader integration
Does the robot work with NinjaTrader 8?
Yes, the TradeLog robot is built specifically for NinjaTrader 8. It installs as a standard NinjaScript Add-On and runs in the background without affecting your platform performance or chart speed.
Can I track my Apex or TopStep prop firm account?
Absolutely. TradeLog has built-in support for prop firm accounts including Apex Trader Funding, TopStep, and other NinjaTrader-based evaluation firms. You can monitor drawdown limits, track payout eligibility, and ensure you stay within the rules.
Does it sync trades from my simulation account too?
Yes, you can sync trades from both live and simulation accounts. This is especially useful during prop firm evaluations where you trade on a sim account. The robot follows the account selected in Chart Trader on that chart.
What data is captured for each trade?
The robot captures entry and exit prices, fill times, quantity, PnL, fees, instrument details, and order type. You can then add your own notes, tags, strategy labels, and screenshots directly in TradeLog.
Is there a CSV import option as an alternative?
Yes, if you prefer not to use the robot, you can export your trade history from NinjaTrader as a CSV file and import it into TradeLog. However, the robot provides real-time sync which most traders find more convenient.
What market data feed should I use with NinjaTrader?
We recommend Kinetick (kinetick.com), the official market data service by NinjaTrader. It provides reliable, low-latency data for futures, forex, and equities at competitive prices, with free end-of-day data available. Kinetick integrates seamlessly with NinjaTrader and ensures accurate price data for your trade journal.
