Analytics
Data-Driven Trading Decisions
Go beyond P&L with multi-dimensional analytics that reveal when, how, and why you trade best.

Behavioral Insights

- Consistency scoring across sessions and timeframes
- Revenge trading and tilt detection
- Emotional pattern recognition tied to trade outcomes
Annotations
Turn Every Trade into a Lesson
The best traders review their trades. Annotations let you capture context that numbers alone can't tell you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the trading journal sync my trades automatically?
Once you connect your broker account (Tradovate, Rithmic, NinjaTrader, or ProjectX), SyncFutures automatically imports your trades in real time. Every fill, every order — captured without any manual entry. You can also import historical trades via CSV from any broker.
What analytics does the trading journal provide?
The journal includes an equity curve, drawdown chart, net daily P&L, time-of-day performance, day-of-week breakdown, trade duration analysis, and P&L distribution. These help you identify when and how you trade best.
What are behavioral insights?
Behavioral insights analyze your trading patterns beyond raw P&L. They detect winning and losing streaks and their impact on your performance, consistency metrics, revenge trading patterns, and tilt detection — helping you understand the psychology behind your results.
Can I annotate individual trades?
Yes. Every trade can be annotated with notes, lessons learned, emotional state, a quality rating, playbook tags, and custom tags. This makes it easy to review your trades and track what setups work best for you.
Is the trading journal included with my SyncFutures subscription?

The calendar heatmap shows your daily P&L as a color-coded grid — green for profitable days, red for losing days. The intensity of the color reflects the magnitude. It gives you an instant visual overview of your trading consistency over weeks and months.
Does the journal support multiple accounts?
