Real-Time Sync — Not End of Day

Trades appear the moment they fill. Not after you export a CSV. Not when you remember to import. Instantly.

Built for Futures, Not Bolted On

Understands contract specs, margin, and the instruments futures traders actually use — ES, NQ, MES, CL, and more.

Broker-Integrated, Not Third-Party

Your journal connects directly to your Optimus account. No third-party bridge, no data mismatch, no subscription to manage.

TradingView Native

Designed to work hand-in-hand with TradingView. Trade on the world's most popular charting platform, review in your journal automatically.

The Problem With TradingView Export

TradingView traders deserve
a journal that just works.

TradingView trade exports may contain missing P&L data, inconsistent fields, or columns that require manual cleanup. When you connect your Optimus account, compatible trade data is imported directly into the journal, reducing the need to organize exported files manually.

The Old Way

Export CSV from TradingView. Clean broken data manually. Import to journal. Realize P&L is missing. Start over tomorrow.

The Typical Answer

Pay $20–$50/month for a standalone journal that still requires manual imports or a fragile third-party sync.

The Optimus Way

Connect Optimus on TradingView. Your journal fills itself the moment each trade executes. $5/month. No exports. No workarounds.

Setup in Minutes

Three Steps to Automatic Journaling

No software to install. No spreadsheets. Your journal starts filling itself the moment you place your first trade.

Currently available for TradingView users. Optimus Flow coming soon.

Open an Optimus Futures Account

Under 10 minutes. $500 minimum deposit. Your journal activates automatically on funding.

Connect Optimus on TradingView

Open TradingView's broker panel, select Optimus Futures, and log in with your CQG credentials. Done.

Trade and Review

Trade normally. Every fill appears in your journal instantly. Nothing to import, ever.

Real-Time Sync

The moment it fills, it's in your journal.

TradingView trade exports may require additional formatting or manual cleanup before the data can be analyzed. Every other journal that "integrates" with TradingView still depends on that broken export. Ours doesn't. We connect directly to your live account.

  • Instant sync on every fill — no end-of-day routine
  • Entry, exit, contracts, and P&L captured automatically
  • No CSV exports, no manual entries, no data errors
  • Works across futures on TradingView with Optimus

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the journal cost?

The TradingView connection requires a CQG datafeed fee of $5 per month, billed directly by CQG and outside of Optimus Futures control. The journal itself is included free with your funded Optimus account.

Do I need to do anything after I open my account?

Just two steps. Open and fund your Optimus account. Then in TradingView, open the broker panel, select Optimus Futures, and log in with your CQG credentials. Every trade you place after that records automatically.

What platforms does the journal support?

Currently available for TradingView users via CQG datafeed. This is a native, real-time integration not dependent on TradingView CSV export. Optimus Flow integration is in active development.

What futures instruments are supported?

All futures contracts available through TradingView with the Optimus Futures broker connection are supported, including ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, YM, MYM, RTY, M2K, energy, metals, and more.

Do I need a separate account to use the journal?

A second set of credentials is required for journal synchronization. These are provided when journal access is set up, along with step-by-step instructions. This is a one-time setup.

What if I already have a TradingView account?

You keep your existing TradingView setup exactly as it is. Add Optimus Futures as your connected broker in the broker panel. Your charts, indicators, layouts, and watchlists are not affected.
