Futures are tick-denominated, contract-rollover-aware, and prop-firm-heavy. Journali logs your CME trades with tick-level P&L, handles the quarterly front-month rollover automatically, tags RTH vs Globex sessions, and ships with every major prop firm's ruleset baked in.
Most trading journals pretend futures are just another asset class. They aren't. A futures journal that treats ES like SPY gets everything wrong — position size is in contracts, not shares. P&L is in ticks, not dollars. The front-month rolls quarterly, so "ESM25" and "ESH25" are the same underlying but different symbols. Margin is intraday vs overnight. And more than half of active futures traders are on a prop firm evaluation where a $500 rule mistake busts a $50,000 account.
The right journal speaks CME. It auto-populates tick values for every symbol, it knows ES is $12.50 per tick and MES is $1.25, it tags your trades RTH or Globex automatically, and it carries your P&L history across contract rollovers without breaking the equity curve.
Futures traders don't need a better general-purpose journal. They need a journal that understands tick values, session structure, contract lifecycles, and prop firm rulebooks — the four things that define the day-to-day of trading CME products.
Every major CME product ships with tick value, point value, and margin requirement pre-configured. You pick the symbol, Journali handles the math. No spreadsheet of tick values to maintain.
Enter entry/exit in price or in ticks. Journali computes dollar P&L using the correct tick value per product — no manual conversion, no rounding errors.
ESM25 and ESH25 are treated as one continuous symbol in your equity curve. No broken charts every quarter. Analytics aggregate cleanly across expirations.
Trades auto-tagged as RTH (9:30–16:00 ET) or Globex (18:00–09:30 ET). See P&L split by session — many traders discover they shouldn't trade one of them.
Built-in support for Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, Earn2Trade, Tradeify, and more. Real-time drawdown and daily-loss tracking.
Pre-loaded tag library for futures patterns — Opening Drive, VWAP Reject, Volume Profile POC, Liquidity Sweep, RTH Open Gap Fill, and more.
R-multiple computed off your actual intraday margin, not fantasy stop distances. Keeps performance comparable across ES (large) and MES (micro) accounts.
Roughly 70% of Journali's futures users are on at least one prop firm evaluation. That's not coincidence — generic journals don't track trailing drawdown, daily-loss cutover times, or consistency rules, which is exactly what busts most evaluations.
Journali's Prop Firm Mode simulates each firm's rulebook live against your logged trades. Running an Apex $50K and a Topstep $150K simultaneously? Track both in one place. See exactly how many dollars of daily-loss budget you have left before clicking. Never bust on a technicality again.

Yes. NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradeStation, TopstepX, ProjectX, and Rithmic (as a data feed for many platforms) all sync automatically via SnapTrade. See Broker Auto-Sync for the full supported list.
Journali treats front-month contracts as one continuous series. When ESH25 rolls to ESM25, the equity curve and analytics keep a single line — you don't see a synthetic gap every quarter. Individual trades still remember their exact contract symbol for audit purposes.
Prop Firm Mode knows which firms restrict trading to the RTH session (e.g. Apex's plus-level consistency rules in certain evaluations) and flags trades that fall outside permitted hours. You see the warning before the firm does.
Always. Manual entry is never removed, and the mobile-first UI is designed so logging a futures trade takes 10-20 seconds. Many traders combine auto-sync for their main account with manual entry for sim practice or an unsupported platform.
