How it works

From platform report to reviewed journal.

The available workflow is CSV-based today. Native sync is coming soon and has no announced date.

  1. 01

    Open Trade Performance

    In NinjaTrader® Control Center, choose New, then Trade Performance. Select the account whose completed activity you want TSB to review before exporting the CSV.

  2. 02

    Generate the history

    Set the account and From and To dates, then select Generate. Use Executions when TSB needs the fill sequence for scale-ins, partial exits, or reversals.

  3. 03

    Export the grid

    Right-click the grid, choose Export, and save the CSV from Trade Performance or Executions. Strategy Analyzer results are not live execution history.

  4. 04

    Upload to TSB

    In TSB Journal, choose Import CSV and select the export. Confirm the account, timezone, detected format, and trade rows before importing.

Import detail

Executions is the most complete path for position reconstruction. A repeated export can be matched using execution and order identifiers so the review can detect existing rows instead of blindly duplicating them.

Security boundary

History in. No trading access.

The current path is a file import that you start. TSB receives the completed trade-history file you choose and does not connect to order entry, brokerage funds, transfers, or withdrawals. Native sync is coming soon and will use read-only history access.

FAQ

Questions before you import.

Answers based on the current importer and the report fields available today.

Which NinjaTrader® export should I use?

Use Trade Performance or Executions. Executions is preferred for scale-ins, partial exits, and reversals because TSB can rebuild the position from the fill sequence.

What data is imported?

TSB reads completed execution or trade rows such as account, instrument, side, quantity, price, time, execution identifiers, and available commission or P&L fields. The exact fields depend on the selected NinjaTrader® display.

Is P&L net or gross?

TSB uses the commission and realized P&L fields included in the export. Review the import summary before confirmation; missing fees cannot be inferred from a file that does not contain them.

How often should I import?

Import whenever you want the journal updated. Daily or weekly exports are common, and the review step is designed to identify rows that were already imported.

Can I import a futures prop account?

Yes, when the account history is available in a supported Trade Performance or Executions export. Keep each account clearly named so TSB can preserve the account boundary in the journal.

Can TSB place or change orders in NinjaTrader®?

No. The current CSV workflow cannot place, change, or cancel orders and has no access to transfers or withdrawals.

When will native sync be available?

Native sync is coming soon. We are not publishing a date until the read-only history path has completed validation.
