TradeJournal WP

Description

A powerful trade journal plugin for importing and managing NinjaTrader CSV trade data in WordPress.

TradeJournal WP is a trade journal plugin designed to help traders keep track of their trading performance by importing trades from NinjaTrader CSV files. Currently, it supports only NinjaTrader, with plans to support additional platforms in the future.

With TradeJournal WP, you can upload a CSV file containing your trades for a particular day, and the plugin will automatically create a post that logs all trades for that day. NinjaTrader allows you to export trades for a specific day or multiple days in one CSV file, which can then be imported into TradeJournal WP to create detailed trade journal posts.

Key Features:
– Import trades from NinjaTrader CSV files.
– Create custom posts for each trading day with detailed trade information.
– Supports trade data, including instrument, entry/exit times, account, and P&L calculations.
– Display a monthly trade performance summary with the [trade_averages] shortcode, showing metrics like average profit, win/loss percentage, and total trades.
– Block-based theme compatibility.

Planned Future Enhancements:
– Support for additional trading platforms.
– More advanced trade analytics and reporting tools.
