For active review
The trade journal should make the next session clearer.
Futures traders move fast. A useful journal has to preserve the decision while the chart, risk, and execution are still understandable.
Ploutos is designed for the post-session loop: bring in the trade, review it with context, classify what happened, and leave with a practical adjustment. It is not just a place to store fills. It is a place to see whether your plan is actually surviving contact with the market.
- Use supported sync paths for Rithmic, Tradovate, and NinjaTrader, or start with CSV and manual entry.
- Review futures trades with chart previews, screenshots, setup, tags, notes, risk, and result.
- Separate journal review from connection management so the workflow stays clear.
