Experiencing error messages when uploading your trades from NinjaTrader to TradeZella via CSV? Here are some common reasons for these errors and how to fix them:

Exporting from the Wrong Tab:

  • One of the most common mistakes is exporting trades from the wrong tab in NinjaTrader.

  • To ensure a smooth import into TradeZella, export your trades from the "Trade Performance" > "Execution" tab.

Note: Exporting from other tabs, such as the "Summary" tab, will lead to errors.

Incorrect Headers:

  • Your CSV file may not contain the correct headers needed for TradeZella. Ensure that your CSV file includes the following headers:
