Trading journal for Tradovate: document your futures trades
Tradovate is a modern, cloud-based platform for futures. What it does not replace is an honest discipline journal. With FlowTrader you record your behaviour and see whether you really trade to plan, instead of just reading off your result.
From Tradovate to your journal in four steps
Export your trades from Tradovate
Tradovate gives you an overview of your orders and filled trades that you can export. That way you have the instrument, direction, entry and exit and result neatly together.
Review the data
Look through your exported trades and pick the period you want to evaluate. These facts form the basis of your journal.
Document in FlowTrader
Enter your trades into FlowTrader and add what the export does not know: your planned setup, whether you stuck to it, and your state of mind. With fast futures trades in particular, this layer is decisive.
Evaluate with the Discipline Score
FlowTrader assesses your behaviour rather than just your result, and the AI Coach spots patterns across many trades that get lost in a plain order list.
Why a journal for Tradovate traders
More than P&L
Tradovate shows you your result. FlowTrader shows you the behaviour behind it, which with fast futures trades is what really decides consistency.
Discipline made visible
The Discipline Score makes rule-based trading measurable, instead of judging you only by your last result.
Spot patterns
The AI Coach surfaces recurring mistakes that stay invisible in single trades and only become clear across many entries.
Built for futures
FlowTrader fits the fast futures trades that Tradovate users run, and puts the focus on discipline rather than yet another metric.
Common questions about Tradovate and FlowTrader
Can I bring my Tradovate trades into FlowTrader?
Tradovate lets you export your orders and trades. You transfer this data into FlowTrader and add your setup and your state of mind there. FlowTrader is focused on disciplined documenting and evaluating, not on a plain data import.
Why a separate journal when Tradovate already has statistics?
Tradovate's statistics show what happened. A discipline journal shows why it happened and whether you stuck to your plan. This behavioural layer is the real lever for consistency, and it lives in no plain result statistic.
Which data should I take from Tradovate?
Instrument, direction, entry and exit and result as a factual base. More important still are the additions Tradovate does not know: your planned setup, whether you stuck to it, and your state of mind. Only these make the journal valuable.
