Futures post-trade review

A Futures Trading Journal Built for Post-Trade Review

Review NQ, MNQ, ES and other closed futures trades by session, setup, entry, exit, realized P&L, notes, tags and rule adherence. Compare the plan against execution, separate process quality from P&L and decide what deserves attention before the next market open. VantageGrid does not route orders or provide signals.

One calm review loop

Turn a fast session into one clear review.

A useful futures journal does more than total P&L. It preserves session, setup, entry, exit, risk, notes, tags and rule context so the next decision is based on evidence rather than the emotion of the result.

Session and setup

Separate market context from execution quality.

Filter by instrument, account and market window so a valid setup is not blended with poor timing, news volatility or an impulsive override.

  • Compare NQ, MNQ, ES and other contracts without mixing accounts.
  • Review US Open, London, news windows and custom session labels.
  • Keep setup quality distinct from the final financial outcome.

Execution and discipline

Review execution beside the final P&L.

Entry, exit, realized P&L, notes, tags and rule adherence help expose inconsistent execution and profitable rule breaks without inventing market-path data.

  • Review entry and exit beside the realized outcome and your notes.
  • Separate clean execution from profitable rule breaks.
  • Turn repeated mistakes into clearer playbook criteria.

Next-session constraint

Finish with one action, not another dashboard.

Use Guardian and Playbook Compliance to keep configured loss, drawdown and process rules close to the review—then choose one concrete constraint for the next session.

  • Keep configured daily-loss and drawdown context visible.
  • Score whether the trade followed the playbook.
  • Always verify official limits with your broker or prop firm.
