Trading journal for NinjaTrader CSV imports, screenshots, executions, and performance stats.

== Description ==
TradeJournal Edge is a free WordPress trading journal plugin for NinjaTrader CSV imports, screenshots, executions, manual trade review, and performance stats.

**Live demo:** [https://priceactiontools.com/tradejournal-edge/](https://priceactiontools.com/tradejournal-edge/)

The package includes sample CSVs in `sample-data/` so you can test imports without exporting your own trades first.

It is built for traders who want ownership of their data, a private journal they control, and enough structure to review performance by setup, instrument, account, side, date range, and result.

* Trade tracking and manual editing
* NinjaTrader CSV import
* Screenshots and executions
* Frontend stats
* Same-site migration for legacy TradeJournal data on the same site

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= What does TradeJournal Edge do? =
It gives traders a structured WordPress journal for importing trades, grouping executions, attaching screenshots, and reviewing performance with stats. Pro adds frontend filters and calendar view.

No. TradeJournal Edge is a WordPress plugin. It can import NinjaTrader CSV exports, but it is not a NinjaTrader indicator or chart add-on.

Yes. The free build includes manual trade entry and editing.

= Can I attach screenshots? =
Yes. Each trade can include one or more screenshots through the WordPress media library.

= Can I review filtered performance? =
