Futures Trading Journal
Track every contract, session, and strategy across ES, NQ, CL, and more - analyze RTH vs. ETH performance, contract-level P&L, and prop firm metrics in one futures trading journal.
Futures traders lose money in ways that generic journals never catch.
You're profitable in RTH and giving it back in ETH. Your ES results look fine until you separate out the overnight sessions. You're passing prop firm evaluations on demo and failing on live because you have no record of what actually changes under pressure.
TraderInsight.pro gives futures traders the specific analytics that matter: session breakdowns, contract-level P&L, consistency metrics for prop firm evaluation, and strategy comparison - across futures, stocks, and options in one journal.
Futures trades from any platform, imported in seconds
Drag-and-drop exports from NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TopStepX, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, and more. Every contract and session ready to analyze immediately. Not listed? Request your platform - typically added within the hour.
Profitable in regular hours, losing it back overnight?
Tag every futures trade by session - RTH, ETH, overnight, globex. Run the report and see win rate and P&L broken down by session. Most futures traders find their results live in one session and the other is pure noise they're paying to trade.
ES vs. NQ vs. MES - where do your real results come from
Run any two contracts, strategies, or session filters side by side. See win rate, average R:R, and P&L per contract for each combination. Find what to focus on and what to stop trading.
Consistency metrics for prop firm evaluation and beyond
Track drawdown, consistency, and rule adherence across your futures trades. Share your full journal with prop firm evaluators or mentors in read-only mode - your trades, notes, and performance in full context, not screenshots.
Every futures trade reviewed on a full chart
Open any futures trade and a full TradingView chart loads inside your journal - indicators, drawing tools, and timeframe switching included. See exactly what price action looked like at entry and where your stop should have been.
