Who it is for
Built for discretionary futures traders
EDGE is for discretionary futures traders who work from their own setups, models and process across index and commodity contracts. Keep your methodology; the journal just makes the history behind it more useful. No broker connection is required, and EDGE never imposes a signal or a strategy.

Journal
Log futures trades without slowing yourself down
A journal should not become a second job after trading. Record the instrument, Long or Short direction, result, setup and reasoning while the trade is still clear.

Economic Calendar
Keep the session’s macro context on the trade
See the scheduled high- and medium-impact releases that move index and commodity futures, so the macro backdrop to a session is there when you review a trade. EDGE does not predict market direction.
For Gold, Market Context adds a deeper fundamental read: evidence-backed macro drivers combined into one context alongside the futures you log.

Execution review
A green trade is not always a good trade
In fast futures markets a winning trade can still be a rushed entry, and a losing one can be textbook. Keep the setup or model, what happened in the session, plan adherence, trade management and screenshots with every contract, so the review is about the execution rather than the result alone.
Insight Engine
See where your edge actually holds
EDGE looks for supported patterns in your own trading history, not predictive signals. Review session or time-of-day, weekday, Long versus Short, setup, discipline and trade-management behavior with the evidence behind each conclusion.

FAQ
Questions about journaling futures trades
What is a futures trading journal?
It is a record of every futures trade and the thinking around it. In EDGE you log the contract, setup or model, reasoning, execution and result, then review how those trades behaved across your own history.
Can I use EDGE for NQ, ES, MNQ and MES?
Yes. Log any index or commodity contract by recording the instrument, direction, result and session context. EDGE is not limited to futures, but nothing about the workflow assumes anything else.
Do I need a broker connection for futures?
No. EDGE is manual-first: you log each contract and its context by hand, so there is no broker or platform link to set up.
What does EDGE track beyond contract P&L?
Setup or model, why you took the trade, what happened in the session, plan adherence, execution and trade-management context, plus screenshots when the chart matters.
Does EDGE give futures signals or trade calls?
No. EDGE is a futures journal and analytics tool, not a signal service. It never tells you which contracts to trade or when.
How does the Insight Engine read my futures trades?
It looks for supported patterns in the trades you have recorded — session and time-of-day, weekday, Long versus Short, setup, discipline and trade management — and shows each with the evidence and a confidence level based on the relevant sample.
