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.
