A futures trading journal for contract-level clarity.

A futures trading journal should track every contract trade with its entry, exit, size, P&L, tags and notes, plus the setup, session and time of day. That structure is what makes review possible: with it you can see which setups produce your edge, how execution quality varies by session, and where rule breaks are costing you. Traders Vault stores all of that per trade and rolls it up into performance analytics, calendars and weekly reports. In our 2026 audit we checked 356 brokers and prop firms one by one against their own sites, and the brokers table on our home page shows the evidence for each one.

You can import futures trade history into Traders Vault via CSV from your platform, or log trades manually with tags and notes. Once the trades are in, you get the same analytics, AI insights and weekly reports as every other account. If your platform adds a supported terminal such as MT4, MT5 or cTrader later, auto-sync becomes available from the connectors panel. The Free tier covers two accounts with manual entry, CSV import, tags, calendars, core analytics and weekly report export at $0. Pro at $25 per month adds unlimited accounts, auto-sync, AI insights and full export. The journal never sees your broker password or login credentials; only your closed trades and the account nickname leave the terminal.

Day traders take many trades with tight rules, which is exactly where manual logging fails. A structured journal captures execution quality, makes rule adherence visible, and adds AI review of your own history. In 2026 the price of a good trading journal is roughly $25 to $99 per month, and Traders Vault sits at the low end at $25 with a free tier underneath.
