Trading Journal

Trade API - General
1

HI guys, I have been developing a journal for some months now. I have 99% built if I put data in it manually but I would love to be able to use the API to pull NT data from users at the end of the trading session. I have asked multiple times for the API and have either not received a response or was told that I needed a CME license which does not make sense as Im not pulling market data, I’m just pulling trade results. My market data comes from Trading View.

Would anyone be able to help me in being able to get access to the API? I started doing this for NT because I was told you were very developer friendly but I seem to never be able to get help from anyone there.

Thank you,

Chris

I see it’s been a while since this was posted, but I wanted to ask if anyone has found a simple way to tag trades by setup automatically? I’ve been doing it manually in Excel, but it’s starting to take too much time. Wondering if there’s a NinjaTrader tool or add-on now that can help do this within the platform more easily?

you could use StreamWriter and output your trades, etc to a csv file. I did it a few years ago I will try and see if i can find it

At the end of the day I right click on trade performance report where I have only the few columns I want and I have configured it to show ticks, and i export it as a csv file.
I then run fee commands on it in sublime text which replaced for example NQ 09-25 to NQ.
My commands also add a leading zero on date and time where required, this becomes important in the next step
I open the .csv file in libreoffice spreadsheet and copy → paste values into my journal which is also a spreadsheet.

If it is possible for you to manually do these steps EOD, one would not need API to pull data from the trade performance report.
