Beyond prop firms
Futures & day trading tools
Compare tools for futures charting, historical market research and risk planning. Dee Anthony recommends TradingView and Edgeful; EVX’s free calculators and economic calendar help prop firm traders prepare for a session without confusing a research subscription with a funded account.

TradingView
Charting, watchlists and market analysis.
TradingView is one of the non-prop trading tools I use and recommend. It gives traders a place to analyze futures charts, follow markets and set alerts. It is a charting platform—not a prop firm or a funded account.
Charts & analysis
Study futures charts, mark levels and compare timeframes with drawing tools and indicators.
Price & indicator alerts
Set alerts for price levels or supported indicator conditions. Limits and features depend on your plan.
Watchlists
Keep the markets you follow together and monitor price changes without switching between individual charts.
Paper trading & Pine Script
Practice with simulated trades or build and backtest indicators and strategies. Simulations are not live results.
Check your futures data & broker connection
A paid TradingView plan does not automatically include real-time futures exchange data. Separate exchange fees may apply, and some feeds are delayed. Trading through TradingView also requires a supported broker; do not assume your prop account connects.

Edgeful
Historical setup statistics & market research.
Edgeful is another tool I recommend for traders. It turns market data into reports for studying historical setups, including gap fills, opening-range breakouts and initial balance. Use it to research how patterns behaved under selected conditions—not as a promise of what the market will do next.
Historical reports
Research setup frequencies by ticker and conditions such as session, weekday and date range.
What’s In Play
Review a daily dashboard of setups relevant to current market conditions.
Market screener
Scan tickers across selected reports and use calculated session bias as one research input.
TradingView indicators
Plot selected levels and session information on charts with Edgeful’s indicator library.
Historical statistics are not a trading guarantee
Check the contract, session, filters, date range and sample size behind each report. Historical frequencies are not a complete strategy backtest accounting for fills, slippage, commissions and risk. Confirm supported markets, plan features and any TradingView requirements before subscribing.
