I prefer Journalytix not only because of the possibility to generate multiple trade statistics, but also because of the integrated fully configurable real time news feed and news calendar with alerting function.

Time for an update. How many are still using Journalytix? Would you still recommend this software?
I've been looking for something to help me automate tracking my trade performance and maybe also something which could be used to show/produce a track record for 2022.
It does seem like as a Ninjatrader 8 / Ninjatrader Brokerage customer Journalytix is my best choice.
I'm using Journalytix for about 2+ years now and it's still my favourite tool for journaling, statistics and news feed, so personally I'd recommend it.

Yes, I'm using it with NT8 via NT8 Bridge + NT Brokerage as well as for UProfit Trader, Earn2Trade and Leeloo, tracking eight different accounts.
It correctly tracks my gross and net performance intraday and EOD, and you can assign all kind of broker fees, commission, NFA fees, etc. as well as miscellaneous fees not only for each account but also for each instrument, e.g. for Minis and Micros. Performance tracking applies to open PnL AND closed trades as Journalytix tracks and shows them separately.
Regarding the real-time news, you can choose from different sources and filter your feed using keywords in order to fit to your needs.
Resetting the NT8 DB is no problem at all since all trades and parameters are submitted to their own DB once a trade is opened and closed.
In addition, they offer a very good online help guide and documentation.
Hope this helps.

Yes, but you have to assign them only once. After that all fees, commissions, etc. are calculated and deducted automatically from all trades relating to that account and / or instrument.
You can also apply them afterwards to all trades you did in the past or from a particular date if you like.
