How to export NinjaTrader 8 trades

Export the NinjaTrader 8 Strategy Analyzer trades grid as CSV and upload it to the audit.

The file you get

A .csv with one row per trade (Trade number, Instrument, Market pos.).

Steps

  1. Open the Strategy Analyzer and select the backtest.
  2. In the display, choose Trades.
  3. Right-click the grid > Export... and save as CSV.

Where to upload it

In the field 'Your platform report'.

Before you upload

  • It does not matter whether Windows uses a comma or a dot as decimal mark: the audit detects the separator.
  • For an account (Account Performance), the Trades tab is best. The Executions tab of CME futures (ES, NQ, CL, GC and their micros) is read too: each trade is priced with the contract's point value.
  • A terminal set to French works as well: its column names are read.
  • This file does not say how much capital you started with: type it in 'Starting balance'. Without it the audit assumes 10,000 and says so in the report.
  • The file only holds closed trades: the floating drawdown inside each trade is reported as Not measured.
