A futures review that keeps risk visible What goes into each record.

  • Contract symbol and direction
  • Entry, exit, stop, and quantity
  • Commissions, P&L, and R-multiple
  • Setup checklist and screenshots

Review the decision, not only the result.

01

Keep contracts and accounts organized

Use futures account types, symbols, and custom account names to keep personal, demo, evaluation, and funded activity separated without losing the combined view of your process.

02

Review execution costs

Record commissions alongside entry, exit, quantity, and P&L. A complete result makes frequent trading easier to evaluate than a gross number that ignores costs.

03

Protect the downside

Track stop discipline, position-size consistency, R-multiples, and drawdown. Document the decisions that increased risk so the next review produces a specific corrective rule.

Risk tracking

Track R-multiples, stop discipline, and size consistency per trade.
