An Automated Futures Trading Journal Built for Active Traders

A professional futures trading journal must bridge the gap between raw fills and actionable review. TradeBB imports trade data from supported platforms (where available) and CSV exports, then standardizes key fields for consistent analytics.

Built for the Professional Ecosystem

TradeBB supports imports from commonly used futures platforms through integrations (where available) and file uploads.

• Platform Imports (where available): Import fills and positions from platforms such as NinjaTrader and Tradovate.
• Broker & Statement Imports: Support for common broker statements and exports, including formats from Interactive Brokers and TradeStation (where supported).
• CSV Uploads (Any Platform): Upload trade exports when direct connections aren’t available, then standardize key fields for analysis.

The Any Broker (AI) Advantage: Normalizing Non-Standard Futures Exports

In futures, CSV exports (including Rithmic-style logs) can vary widely by provider and connection. Any Broker (AI) uses AI-assisted mapping to automatically align your columns to standardized fields—like contract code, multiplier, and tick value—so imports stay consistent even when files are messy.

Your futures trading journal should be more than a P&L log—it should help you review risk, costs, and execution behavior with consistent data.

Futures Contract Normalization (Multipliers, Ticks, Fees)

TradeBB standardizes fragmented futures data so you can focus on execution quality.

• Contract Specs (Multiplier/Tick): Apply contract multipliers and tick values based on imported instrument details (and your reviewed mappings).
• Cost Attribution: Track net results after fees shown in your import (exchange, NFA, clearing—when provided).
• P&L by Session/Hour: Break down performance by time of day to spot periods that consistently work (or don’t).

Monitoring Resilience and Drawdowns

Track your Equity Curve and Drawdown Curve to stay aligned with your own risk parameters and position sizing rules, using results based on your imported activity.

• Eliminate Manual Errors: No more broken formulas when a contract expires or a symbol changes.
• Automated Expectancy: Quantify performance over a larger sample with automated per-trade expectancy and distribution metrics.
• Identify Behavioral Leaks: Tag trades with "FOMO" or "Late Entry" to see the exact dollar cost of discipline mistakes in your futures trading journal.
• Optimized Sizing: Use Profit Factor and Win Rate analysis to determine which setups deserve more risk.
