futuresIQ started as an internal tool. We were trading futures and needed a journal that went deeper than P&L — one that could tell us whether our losses came from bad setups or bad execution, whether we were aligned with order flow, and exactly what our rule breaks were costing us.
Most trading journals were designed for stocks and options. They track P&L, maybe win rate — but they don't understand tick data, session structure, or order flow. They have no concept of delta, no way to enrich trades with what the market was doing at your exact entry.
Futures traders are a different breed. We trade on margin, we care about tick value, we're often in and out of positions in seconds. The journal needs to understand that.
futuresIQ enriches every trade from tick data. Delta imbalance at entry. Order flow direction. MFE and MAE priced to the second. A TP/SL simulator that runs your historical trades against every stop and target combination on 1-second candles.
And the rule compliance engine — the feature we built for ourselves first. Define your rules. Log when you break them. See the dollar amount. Know exactly what following the plan is worth.
It connects to NinjaTrader, Sierra Chart, Tradovate, and Rithmic. More platforms are in progress.
