Troubleshooting
Import fails
- Make sure NinjaTrader is set to English before exporting
- Verify you selected the correct export type (Trades vs Executions)
- Don't open and re-save the CSV in Excel - it may change the format
MAE/MFE data
NinjaTrader Trades export includes MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion) and MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion) data which Tradavity can import.
