Unfortunately these kind of lists have a maximum list length of eight rows, it's an excel limitation, so I can't change that.
OT: A slightly indiscrete question: How many instruments do you trade?

Hi guys, this has been a great thread to read through and to find a trade journal. it sounds complicated, but as i begin to use it, perhaps it will make sense. i used to use the TJ journal for forex, but since moving over to futures, haven't bought a new TJ journal--and here's one on futures.io (formerly BMT)! amazing. what an incredible site to have stumbled upon. Thanks again.

also i think there is an issue in the instrument list, or i am doing something wrong.. the M6E is 10,000.00 a point and 1.25 a tick, which comes out to 0.000125 on the instrument list, but the instrument manager in NT says 0.0001. and for some reason my totals per my statement/journal are not matching up..

Pretty sure point value for M6E is $12,500 not $10,000.

You can type in the new value manually and alert @NinjaTrader it is wrong. It would effect PnL reports inside NT as well.
