Trading journal
A trading journal that measures, not just records
A journal records what happened. Fillbook measures why it happened — every trade checked against your actual planned risk, tagged by setup, and rolled up into the numbers that tell you what to change.
What a trading journal actually does
At minimum, a trading journal logs your entries, exits, size, and P&L. A useful one goes further: it holds your plan for the trade (setup, planned stop, planned target) alongside what actually happened, so you can measure execution against intent instead of just tallying wins and losses after the fact.
What Fillbook tracks
- R-multiple — every trade measured against the risk you actually planned, not a flat dollar figure
- Win rate, profit factor, and expectancy — computed from your real trade history, broken down by symbol, setup, and time of day
- Behavioral flags — rule-based detection for revenge trading, overtrading, and time-of-day performance decay
- Drawdown and daily loss room — live for any account with rules attached, not just prop-firm evaluations
Import your trades in minutes, not an afternoon
Connect Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or Interactive Brokers for live auto-sync, or import a CSV export from any other broker or futures platform — Fillbook maps the columns automatically. No re-typing a session's fills by hand.
Built especially for futures and prop-firm accounts
Most trading journals were built for stock and options traders first and treat futures as an afterthought. Fillbook handles contract-level P&L and tick values natively, and understands prop-firm rules — trailing drawdown, static drawdown, daily loss limits, consistency requirements — as first-class account data, not a spreadsheet formula you maintain yourself.
Free to start
The free plan covers 50 trades on one account with manual entry and CSV import, R-multiple tracking included. No card required to see whether the numbers change how you trade.

Frequently asked questions
A trading journal is a record of your trades — entries, exits, size, and outcome — kept so you can review your own performance instead of relying on memory or a broker statement. A good one also captures your plan for each trade, so you can compare what you intended against what actually happened.
A spreadsheet can hold the same numbers, but it won't import your fills automatically, calculate R-multiple or expectancy for you, or flag a revenge-trading pattern across a hundred trades you'd never spot by eye. Fillbook does the arithmetic and the pattern detection so the spreadsheet time goes toward reviewing trades instead of logging them.
Fillbook imports from most major stock and options brokers via CSV, and the core analytics — win rate, profit factor, expectancy, R-multiple — apply to any market. Futures and prop-firm accounts get additional purpose-built features (contract-level P&L, drawdown and daily-loss tracking) that a stock-only journal doesn't need.
The free plan has no time limit — 50 trades on one account, manual entry and CSV import, with R-multiple tracking included. Live broker auto-sync and prop-firm rule tracking are on paid plans; see the pricing page for current details.
