◆ THE TRADE INDEX
TRADING JOURNAL · PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE

Trade with a
clearer edge.

A trading journal should do more than record wins and losses. Capture your decisions, measure your execution, understand your patterns and build a process you can review with confidence.

For futures and active traders who want a more structured way to review every session.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAIL

Your P&L tells you what happened.
The Trade Index helps you see why.

Most traders remember the big win and the frustrating loss. The real edge is buried in the trades between them — the sessions, setups, decisions and habits that repeat.

↗From scattered trades
to a clearer process.One connected workspace for the work before, during and after the session.
01 / FIND THE LEAK

Stop guessing where your edge disappears.

Break results down by setup, session, symbol and direction. See which conditions deserve more attention — and which ones may be quietly dragging down your performance.

THE SHIFTReplace “I think I trade better in the morning” with evidence from your own journal.

Capture the thesis, entry, exit, risk, chart, setup grade and whether you followed your plan. A win can still be a bad trade. A loss can still be executed well.

Important: The Trade Index can calculate recorded daily P&L, trade-day consistency and a journal-sequence drawdown estimate. It cannot certify a prop firm's official balance, intraday trailing threshold, floating loss, or payout eligibility without an authorized live account feed and the firm's exact rule specification.
THE TRADE INDEX · TRADING INTELLIGENCE

The Trade Index Intelligence

A private analyst for your trading history. Every conclusion is tied to recorded data and sample size.
How The Trade Index Intelligence works: This build runs a local analytical engine in your browser. It computes statistics, compares segments, detects repeatable patterns, and answers supported questions using your saved journal. It does not call an external AI provider or upload your trading data. It is not a general-purpose generative model and does not visually interpret chart images.

Historical data library

Upload OHLCV CSV data. The Trade Index does not include or fabricate historical prices.
No dataset loaded
Supported columns: timestamp/date/time, open, high, low, close, volume. Common broker export headers are detected. Timestamps should include timezone or be consistently in the market's local timezone.
Import a CSV to begin. For reliable intraday testing, use properly timestamped 1-minute or smaller bars.

Strategy backtesting

Test explicit rule sets against imported historical candles with realistic costs and chronological validation.

Backtest configuration

EMA trend crossover: enter when fast EMA crosses slow EMA at a bar close; execute at the next bar open. Set fast and slow lengths below.
Parameters: EMA = fast/slow lengths; breakout = prior-bar range lookback; ORB = opening-range bars and breakout window; RSI = RSI period and oversold threshold (overbought is 100 minus threshold).

Methodology & limitations

Signals are calculated using completed bars and filled at the next bar open to avoid same-bar look-ahead. If stop and target are both touched within one OHLC bar, the stop is assumed to fill first (conservative). Slippage is applied adversely on entry and exit; commissions are charged per contract per side. The engine does not model queue position, bid/ask spread beyond configured slippage, partial fills, latency, market impact, exchange halts, roll adjustments or tick-level path. Results are only as reliable as the uploaded data and strategy assumptions. The out-of-sample period is the final chronological portion of the dataset and is not used to choose parameters automatically.

You can keep accounts separate, compare them, and choose which account's risk rules apply to each trade. Live broker connections are configured separately in Live account center.

What The Trade Index will synchronize

Read-only by default
Account & balances

Account identity, cash balance, net liquidation, realized P&L, margin and buying power where provided.

Positions & exposure

Open contracts, quantity, average price, mark price, unrealized P&L and aggregate exposure.

Orders & executions

Order lifecycle, partial fills, commissions, fees, timestamps and deduplicated execution history.

Automatic journal

Convert executions into round trips, group partial fills, match entries/exits and flag unmatched activity.

Risk monitoring

Daily loss, trailing drawdown, position limits and consistency calculations using user-configured firm rules.

Data quality

Show stale-feed warnings, missing fields, timezone normalization and reconciliation discrepancies.

Important implementation boundary: Tradovate account data and streaming are available through its API subject to account/API eligibility and permissions. Rithmic production connectivity requires the appropriate developer API access and conformance. The website can be prepared now, but live sign-in requires The Trade Index's own backend, registered application credentials, provider approval, encrypted token storage and production deployment.

How live connections will work

01 · Authorize

Use the provider's approved authentication flow. Never ask users to paste broker passwords into The Trade Index.

02 · Secure token handling

Exchange and store tokens on The Trade Index's backend using encrypted secrets, least-privilege scopes and revocation controls.

03 · Stream & reconcile

Subscribe to supported account events, reconcile snapshots, deduplicate fills and clearly show connection freshness.

CSV import remains available as a fallback for unsupported providers.

Resampling · 1,000 paths
Requires at least 10 trades with measurable R. Simulation resamples your historical R outcomes with replacement and does not predict future results.

Research notes & caveats

Keep evidence separate from interpretation
Methodology: trade outcomes are treated as independent observations for basic descriptive statistics. Real trading outcomes can be clustered, regime-dependent and non-stationary. Confidence intervals use a normal approximation and Monte Carlo uses historical outcomes with replacement; neither establishes causation or guarantees future performance. MAE/MFE interpretation depends on consistent units and accurate source data. No live market data is used.
