Personally I write my notes directly into the journal, only in rare cases like fiddling around with new journal versions and thus having my version closed I might use pen and paper.
But what I rather often do is only entering notes, setup and grades during trading and filling in all the rest as soon as I feel I have the time or after trading.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Here is a new beta.
As to migrating, I have changed some formatting on the journal tab, so make sure4 you paste with the option "match destination formatting".
I think I found the things that @petrmac pointed out: drawdown is fixed now and with the journal tab I cleared a bunch of obsolete formatting rules.
Hope the formatting issues are fixed now...
i wont do the quotes on this one since we have had a few notes about it, but why dont we just use the NT database that already exists and pull the trades from there to the journal?
i will wait for the new importer to resume testing with the newest journal(beta11).. this will also give me time to catch up on interweb stuffs that ive missed the last 3 business days..
@petrmac, ok i was using automated for the import.. so discretionary is for sim and live trading both? i guess that makes sense..
dont believe anything you hear and only half of what you see
The NT database is one option. It is probably somehow locked... I don't know if I'll be able to get to it.
What makes me think about using own db is the possibility to allow for import from other platforms other might be using (MultiCharts??)
Automated/ Discretionary - yes that was meant so. Automated is from the strategy.
I really like your ideas!
As to entering notes into the database, what was your idea how to do it best?
The other thing I was thinking about is that we might lose quite a bit of control over the process, which is a good thing as long as everything works, but might be a big problem if there is a giltch somewhere like misgrouping of trades as I would not have the possibility to correct things easily with a fey minutes of entering the problematic trades manually and then correcting the scope of the csv and import the rest easily.
But I like the multi platform idea a lot, so my first question would be if other platforms can export csv or excel reports similar to NT?
Because if they do it might be an option to give the importer a set of "maps" for the different csv types, so that it can parse these?
Here is my idea how the trade log entry could look like. What do you think?
Then there will be some other screens needed (like verification / matching of the imported trades with the journal logs) - have no idea how should it look like now...
