The dashboard keeps trades, accounts, calendar results, filters, equity curve, and rule compliance in one review surface. Use symbol, direction, tag, and account filters to compare related futures trades. The example uses synthetic demo data.

FUTURES REVIEW

The context a futures trading journal should preserve

The context a futures trading journal should preserve

Futures review needs more than a P&L total. Contract details, multipliers, account rules, setup, and execution should stay connected to the trade that produced the result.

01 / CONTRACT

Contract and multiplier context

Record the futures symbol, direction, quantity, entry and exit, fees, setup, and notes. StonkJournal supports futures and contract multipliers, but imported and manual details should still be verified.

02 / ACCOUNT & RISK

Account rules beside the outcome

Keep personal, paper, challenge, and funded accounts separate. Attach risk and behavioral rules so a profitable trade can still be reviewed for process violations.

03 / FILTER & COMPARE

Patterns by contract and setup

Use the calendar, equity curve, account views, tags, symbols, direction, P&L ranges, and rule-compliance filters to compare similar futures trades.
