Every stop and target move
Your stop and target come with the trade, and each time you move one, the new price and the time are kept.
NinjaTrader trade journal: Trade Performance and TradeRecall
NinjaTrader 8 has its own window for looking back at your trades, Trade Performance. TradeRecall works beside it, inside NinjaTrader through an add-on, and keeps what happens during the trade.
Free, no card. Plus a bonus: the full version for your first 30 days.
What NinjaTrader keeps by itself
From the NinjaTrader 8 Help Guide. Trade Performance is opened from the Control Center, under New.
- performance reports on your trade history for the accounts, instruments and dates you choose, in currency, percent, points, pips or ticks;
- displays for Summary, Analysis, Executions, Trades, Orders and a Journal;
- per trade: entry and exit price and time, profit, commission and fees, MAE and MFE;
- analysis by day, week, month, hour of day or day of week, with graphs such as cumulative net profit and maximum drawdown;
- a temporary one-minute chart at the place of an execution or a trade;
- journal entries you type, by date, or on an execution or a trade, in the Account Performance window.
What TradeRecall adds beside it
TradeRecall's add-on runs in NinjaTrader 8 on Windows, or on a Mac with Apple silicon in Windows under Parallels, and takes every execution on every account NinjaTrader shows, on a Rithmic or Tradovate connection too.

A picture is taken at every fill and every order placed, moved or cancelled, on each chart that carries the TradeRecall indicator.

Does NinjaTrader have a trade journal?
Yes: the Journal display of the Account Performance window keeps entries you type, by date or on an execution or a trade, and Trade Performance gives the statistics. A trading journal such as TradeRecall adds what happens during the trade: your stop and target moves, pictures of your chart and what you say. NinjaTrader trading journal

Questions
Does TradeRecall change anything in NinjaTrader?
It adds one add-on, imported once, and an indicator you put on the charts you want pictures of. Trade Performance stays as it is.
Does TradeRecall need my NinjaTrader or broker password?
No. The add-on works inside NinjaTrader, so TradeRecall never asks for your broker login.
Is TradeRecall a subscription?
No. You buy it once for $300 and it is yours for good. Or you pay $33 a month, and after the 12th payment it is yours for good. If you stop the monthly payments before that, nothing is lost: the free journal keeps everything you recorded, and only the automatic features stop.
