A NinjaTrader trading journal built for futures, strategy and funded accounts.

Log trades manually or import a CSV from your broker or platform — both work at $0 on the Free tier, which covers two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export. Once in, trades get the same analytics and weekly reports as every other account. If you also execute through MT4, MT5 or cTrader terminals, Pro at $25 per month adds auto-sync, AI insights and unlimited accounts. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one.

NinjaTrader is built for charting, execution and strategy development — it does not include a structured journal with win rate, profit factor and weekly performance reports. DuskAnalyst gives you that structure: entries, exits, size, the strategy behind the trade, tags and notes, rolled up into analytics, calendars and weekly report export. Free covers two accounts with manual entry and CSV import; Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync for MT4, MT5 and cTrader, AI insights and full export.

Yes. DuskAnalyst lets you track demo, live and funded accounts side by side, so you can see how your evaluation and funded performance compare without mixing them together. When a consistency rule or payout review comes due, the record of every contract, entry and exit is already there. Our 2026 audit checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek.

Track the contract, entry, exit, size, R-multiple, session, the strategy behind the trade, and one honest note about whether you followed your plan. That structure is what makes review possible: with it you can see which setups produce your edge and where execution slips cost you. DuskAnalyst stores all of it per trade and rolls it up into performance analytics, calendars and weekly report export. Data is stored on Cloudflare, identity is handled by Auth0, billing by Stripe, and the AI that answers your insight questions runs on DeepSeek. No credit card is required for Free, there are no setup fees, and you can cancel in one click.

A journal that computes win rate, profit factor and strategy breakdowns beats a diary when you are hunting for an edge, and that is what a paid tool adds over a spreadsheet. In 2026 the price of a good trading journal is roughly $25 to $99 per month, and DuskAnalyst sits at the low end at $25 with a free tier underneath — two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export at $0.
