Hey guys anyone have any more input on tradervue regarding scaling in/out of trades? Is it easy to import the data to Ninjatrader? Are the reports generated accurate?
thanks!
Johnny
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I have tradervue record a trade as from flat-to-flat. So any scaling in and out is all included in that one trade. Setting below.
Tradervue also provide a link to an optional third party indicator for Ninjatrader that automatically uploads your trades to Tradervue rather than having to do it manually. I have it and it works well.
I wanted to give a review of Tradervue.com as one of my 2017 resolutions was to keep a more detailed journal of pre/post market analysis, trades and overall market thoughts and trading ideas.
I googled Trading journal, found Tradervue.com (along with a few others) and was led right back here to FIO for info. Duh...., should have started here first!
@Big Mike this should make you happy, along with the fact that reading about the evolution of one's trading a detailed journal is without a doubt a definite recommendation / requirement.
Using the discount for Elite Members, I signed up for the Gold plan as I want all of the detail possible and full reporting. I was doing much of this manually and my "journal" was rather loose and not consolidated in one place.
Tradervue.com takes care of all of this and it's rather simple to use. If anyone is considering doing it, I'd say go for it. With the Elite discount, it's a no-brainer. Journal entries are as easy as using a word processor program or Wordpress type of program with tags, images and the like being very easy to use.
It's web based, so no software to download, which is ideal for me as I trade from 3 different locations during the week and if you're to travel it's as simple as logging on to the web site.
I needed a little assistance with the trade imports and had some ?'s about commissions and Greg was super responsive in getting back to me via email for help and work around on commissions. That's the only thing I've found thus far is that I use three (3) difference brokers, one of which includes commissions in their reports, the other two do not.
I was able to set a commission amount for trade imports, but the other two (2) brokers have different commission amounts. The work around is to edit the commission amounts for broker # 3 after import, so the reports accurate to the penny, which is important to me. I did make a recommendation to Greg for a longer term solution and he's checking in to it and hopefully he can make something happen. In the interim, manually editing the commissions is easy enough, so I'll hope @Tradervue can do something there to make the process smoother.
I have a few other ideas I'll be sending over to Greg, but for all intents and purposes, Tradervue.com is a fantastic piece of software with lots of great features, detailed reporting and ease of use.
I'm attaching my 1st full journal entry, which I initially was "tagging" my broker on each trade, but realized once I started importing trades that it was not necessary to do this as the broker name was brought in on each import via tags that I created.

I've tried to be religious about entering my pre/during/post market analysis, trades, thoughts, etc. and have so far been good about doing so.
I've also made it a point on Sunday to review the full week and look for strengths, weakness and any patterns in not only the markets, but also in my own trading style and execution.
The reporting function of @Tradervue has made this very easy to do as the reporting is very versatile and has all kinds of ways to view your trade data.
I want to emphasize to anyone that keeping a journal is, without a doubt, a step to becoming a better trader and showing commitment and discipline in the trading business.
My only regret is that I didn't start doing it sooner.
