Every good trader keeps a journal — and almost nobody keeps it well, because it lives in another app you have to remember to open. TradeNotes brings the journal into NinjaTrader — one button on your chart opens it — so logging a trade is part of taking it.
It works like Notion: rich pages built from blocks — text, headings, checklists, tables and images — organized as tabbed pages. Build the journal that fits how you actually trade.
The reason journals fail is friction. TradeNotes kills it with templates: build your ideal trade-log or daily-review page once, save it, and spawn a fresh copy in one click every session. Four starter templates get you going immediately.
Paste chart screenshots straight into a page, tick through your pre-trade checklist, and keep the whole record in one place — with your trades, where you trade.
Export any page to a single, self-contained HTML file — a clean record you can email, archive or review away from the platform. Your journal is yours, not locked in a format you can't get out of.
Built and used on a live trading desk by a working futures trader — not a generic note app bolted onto a chart.
Journal keepers — Finally a journal you'll actually use, because it's already open in the chart you're trading.
Process traders — Pre-trade checklists and templates enforce your process on every single trade.
Reviewers — Drop in screenshots, log the trade, then export the day to a clean HTML file for your weekend review.
Students — Build a structured record of what's working and what isn't, all in one place, all in your words.
TradeNotes is built to be flexible — the pages, elements, templates and window are all yours to shape. This is the journal in action:
Build pages — Combine 9 element types — text, headings, checklists, tables, images and more — into tabbed pages.
Use templates — Start from 4 built-in templates, or save your own page as a template and spawn fresh copies in one click.
Add screenshots — Paste or insert chart images directly in a page so the setup lives with the note.
Export — Send any page to a single, shareable HTML file for review or archiving.
Fit your workspace — Size and place the window and style the button to match your chart.

TradeNotes on a live chart — building journal pages, using templates and exporting to HTML in action.
Complete your setup
A Notion-style trade journal inside NinjaTrader — rich pages, templates, screenshots and HTML export. Built by a working futures trader.
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. TradeNotes is a journaling and note-taking tool only — it is not a trade signal, recommendation, or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
