I currently export the trades at the end of each day from the Account Performance trades tab to excel, so that I can analyze the data and collect statistics over time. To improve this, I would like to add custom columns to the trade tab, such as an indicator value at the time of the trade entry.
How can I do this? If I cannot alter the Performance tab results, is there another way to produce the information in an excel exportable for each trade entry?
Thank you.

Hello Lost Trader,
Thank you for your post.
Unfortunately adding additional tabs to the Account Perfomance window is not supported at this time. I will forward this to our development team for future considerations.
You can select a row within the Account Perfmance window then right mouse click-->Grid-->Export to Excel.

Thanks, Christopher. I know I can export the Performance tab, but as I said it does not have all the information desired.
How can I export indicator specific details at the time of any trade entry?

Unfortunately there is not an option within NinjaTrader by default to export indicator information at a specific time. I will also forward this to our development team.

Thank you. It is rather important for the post-trading debrief. If we can export the same data after trading consistently, accurately, reliably; then we eliminate a lot of user error. Very important. And we can more easily expand our analysis of actual trading.
BTW, you could also think of it as generating the data upon an event (order fill and/or submission), rather than at a specific time. That might be easier for your developers.
