Futures don't behave like a swing position you check once a day. Here's what usually breaks a futures journal.
The open, the midday lull and the close each trade differently. Tag the session and the strategy on every trade, and that pattern surfaces in your weekly review instead of staying a feeling.
A single strong session on ES doesn't prove you have an edge. Without a record of every session, you can't tell repeatable skill from a lucky fill.
A P&L screenshot of an NQ trade tells you nothing about size, tick value or the risk actually taken — an ES contract and an MES micro can look the same and carry completely different risk.
Every session logged, tick value built into every entry, and a leaderboard that rewards showing up again and again — not one lucky day.
From a single MES scalp to a full-size GC swing, logged the same disciplined way.
Log ES, NQ, YM, RTY, MES, MNQ, CL and GC with the contract itself built into the entry, not a generic symbol field.
Enter tick value and size once, and every trade's R calculates correctly, a full ES contract and an MES micro measured the same disciplined way.
The leaderboard ranks risk-adjusted return and consistency. Only Trader and Pro members are ranked, so one green week doesn't carry the table.
Set a max trades per day and a cooldown after consecutive losses, and see every breach on record, the discipline that keeps a working system alive past one bad session.
Tag each trade with its session, London, New York, Asia or Sydney, plus your own strategy tag, so you can see which part of the day actually produces your edge.
An auto-generated weekly review shows which sessions and contracts actually worked for you, then rounds out the picture with your win rate, drawdown, best setup and costliest mistake.
Index futures and commodities don't trade like a swing position. You're scaling, session timing matters, and one lucky trade proves nothing on its own. If you're trading a funded futures account, our prop-firm page covers drawdown rules separately.
Set it once per contract and every entry, from MES to full-size GC, calculates correctly.
Cap your trades per day and set a cooldown after consecutive losses, with every breach on record, not buried in a broker statement.
The leaderboard rewards traders who show up every session, not the one that got lucky.
The same routine whether you traded one ES contract or ten MES micros.
Enter the contract, size, entry and exit, ES, NQ, a micro or a commodity. Tick value and R calculate automatically.
Note the session, the setup and any rule you bent, using your own strategy and mistake tags to capture where in the day it happened.
See your consistency score, win rate and rule compliance in one auto-generated weekly review.
One good trade on NQ isn't a track record. A consistency score built from every session, tagged and reviewed, is.
Why one green day is not a track record
TradingSocial is built for index futures (ES, NQ, YM, RTY), micros (MES, MNQ) and commodities (CL, GC). Log contract size and tick value with every trade, tag the session and setup, and see your R multiples and consistency score in one dashboard, not a spreadsheet.
No. There is no CME, CQG or Rithmic-style futures broker sync. MT5 is the only automatic broker sync TradingSocial offers today, so futures trades, ES, NQ, CL, GC and the rest, are logged manually: enter the contract, size, entry and exit, and tick value calculates your R automatically.
Yes. Micro contracts like MES and MNQ log the same way as their full-size counterparts. Set the contract and tick value once, and every trade's R multiple scales correctly, whether you're trading one micro or ten.
Enter the contract and its tick value when you log a trade, and TradingSocial calculates R consistently whether you're trading ES, GC, CL or a micro. That keeps your risk-adjusted stats comparable across a mixed futures book.
The leaderboard ranks risk-adjusted return and consistency, not raw profit and loss, so one lucky trade in NQ doesn't outrank a trader compounding small edges every session. Only Trader and Pro plan members are ranked.
