Futures trading journal for your own capital
A futures trading journal for traders using their own money
Most trading journals stop at a P&L curve. When you trade your own account, no firm sets your limits, so the only rules are the ones you write down and keep. Fillbook lets you set a daily risk limit and a drawdown ceiling for your own capital, then shows how much room is left, based on the trades you have logged.
It sits alongside the prop-firm side of Fillbook: the same trade history, review tools and analytics, with wording and presets made for personal accounts.
Your own risk limits
Choose Personal capital when you add an account, enter your starting capital, then set a daily risk limit and a drawdown ceiling. Fillbook shows your capital buffer and the daily room left, measured from your logged trades.
Presets, not prescriptions
Start from Conservative Retail (1% daily, 5% drawdown), Standard Futures Scalper (2%, 10%) or Micro Account Builder (a fixed $100 daily limit). They are starting points to edit, not advice, and the limits are static floors that do not trail.
What it costs you
A commission and slippage card shows what fees have taken from your results. Slippage appears only where your platform reported an intended price; Fillbook does not estimate it.
Habits behind the numbers
Review results by setup, time of day and position size, and opt in to nudges for patterns such as revenge trading or overtrading, so the limits you set connect to what you actually do.
What it can and cannot see
Fillbook measures your buffer from the trades it has, whether synced or imported. Deposits and withdrawals are not tracked, so check the live balance at your broker. It warns you; it cannot place or block orders, and it is not financial advice.
There is a free plan and paid plans: see pricing and compare what your platform charges in the futures commission rates guide.
