Blue Guardian Futures
Trade Journal
Your Blue Guardian trades sync from Tradovate or NinjaTrader as they close. Tanto charts every fill, grades it, and turns your trades and setups into data you can track, refine, and improve on.
Journal Every Blue Guardian Trade
Your Best Setup Has a Leak
Tag the setup, then tag the entry, the exit, and how you felt. Filter to your best setup and Tanto shows the trades dragging it down: the ones you tagged revenge, chop, or early exit.
Setup × Time of Day
Cross any two things you track and get a heat map. Find out your breakout prints at the open and bleeds after lunch, or that fear exits cost you more than bad entries.
Two Grades, Not One
Grade the outcome A through F, then the execution on its own. Filter to the A trades you executed perfectly and you have your playbook. The lucky wins stop counting as skill.
See Exactly Where You Got In and Out
Every trade charted on real candles with your entry and exit marked at the exact price. Under it: how far price ran your way, how far it went against you, and how much of the move you actually kept.
Review the Whole Day in Seconds
Open a trade and hit the arrow keys. Chart, grades, tags, and notes flip by one trade at a time, so a full session's review takes minutes, not an evening.
Your Best Day, Every Month
Every Blue Guardian plan measures consistency against your best day. The P&L calendar names it every month and opens to the trades behind it.

Find Out What Keeps Ending the Account
Blue Guardian traders pick a plan, Standard, Reserve, Express, or Direct, pay once, and chase a 6% target under an end-of-day trailing drawdown. Then they either pass and trade for payouts or lose the account. Blue Guardian's dashboard shows where the balance sits against the target and the drawdown, and how close your best day is to the consistency limit. It does not tell you why the last account closed, or what the sessions that passed had in common. That is the question Tanto answers.
Getting in takes a minute. Blue Guardian accounts run on Tradovate and NinjaTrader, so you sign in on your platform's own page, grant read-only access, and every fill streams into Tanto within seconds of closing. The first connection pulls your last 30 days, so an evaluation already underway shows up with its history. Enter your round-turn rate once and every P&L figure follows it, so the numbers match the balance Blue Guardian is measuring against the drawdown.
Then you have a journal. Every trade opens on a candlestick chart with your entry and exit marked at the exact price, and the arrow keys flip to the next one, so a whole session reviews in minutes. Tag each trade five ways: the setup, the entry, the exit, the conditions, and how you felt. Then let Reports pull them apart. Filter to your best setup and see whether it only loses on the trades you tagged revenge or chop. Cross setup against time of day and find out it pays at the open and bleeds after lunch. The calendar names your best day every month, which is the number every Blue Guardian consistency rule is built on, and R makes the 5:1 risk-to-reward limit a number instead of a guess. That is the difference between buying another evaluation and fixing what keeps failing.
Blue Guardian lets you run as many evaluations as you want and up to five funded accounts at once. Each one gets its own Tanto account, so a Standard evaluation and a funded Reserve sit side by side with their own stats and calendars, and you can see whether you trade the funded account the way you traded the one that got you there. When an account breaches or merges into Live, archive it and every trade, grade, and note stays. And if Blue Guardian is not the only place you trade, your other futures firms, personal Tradovate or NinjaTrader accounts, and MT5 accounts sit beside it in one journal, with one calendar and one set of reports. Still choosing a plan? Our breakdown of the Blue Guardian Futures rules compares Standard, Reserve, Express, and Direct on targets, drawdown, consistency, and payouts.
Blue Guardian Futures + Tanto FAQ
Through Tradovate or NinjaTrader, the platforms Blue Guardian Futures runs on. Choose the Demo environment when you connect, sign in on your platform's own page, and grant read-only access. From then on every fill streams into Tanto within seconds of closing. No exports and nothing typed in twice.
Yes. The first connection pulls the last 30 days, usually within a minute, so an evaluation already underway shows up with its history. Older trades can come in as a Tradovate or NinjaTrader CSV and Tanto merges them with the synced ones.
Yes. Give each one its own account in Tanto with its own stats, calendar, and commission settings. The account selector shows one at a time, any group of them, or everything you trade across every firm at once. Blue Guardian allows up to five funded accounts, and Tanto keeps them apart.
It shows you the number the rule is built on. The P&L calendar names your best and worst day for the month, and each day opens to the trades behind it, so you can see what your biggest day is doing to your total before you request a payout. Tanto does not track Blue Guardian's limits for you, so check the ratio against the rule for your plan.
Yes. The heatmap lays out expectancy by hour and day of week, and the stat panel names your best and worst session. Blue Guardian trails the drawdown on your end-of-day close, so the hour you hand profit back matters as much as the hour you make it.
Yes. Reports breaks results down by hold time, and the stat table shows average hold time for wins and losses separately. That tells you whether your edge lives in the fast trades or the ones you let run, which matters when a plan limits how much profit can come from trades held only seconds.
Yes. Put a stop on each trade, or set a default risk per account if you size every trade the same, then switch the app to R multiples. A 25K Standard and a 150K Direct read on the same scale, so the stats describe your process rather than your contract size.
Two grades per trade. Performance is A through F for how it turned out. Execution is Perfect, Decent, or Needs Work for how closely you followed the plan. Tag the setup, entry, exit, conditions, and emotion, then filter Reports by any of them or cross two against each other.
Yes. Enter a per-order or per-contract round-turn rate on each account and every P&L figure in the app follows it, history included. Trade micros next to minis and a separate micro rate picks itself by symbol.
Archive it. The account stops counting toward your plan limit, leaves your All Accounts totals, and keeps every trade, grade, tag, and journal entry as it was. When the next evaluation starts, the old account is a click away for comparison.
No. Tanto is read-only. It cannot place trades, change orders, or move funds, so it never touches your Blue Guardian account. You sign in on Tradovate's or NinjaTrader's own page and your password never reaches Tanto's servers.
Yes. Add as many accounts as your plan supports and view them one at a time or together. Blue Guardian beside another futures firm, a forex prop firm, or a personal account, all on one dashboard.
