    Why is record keeping for Futures trades so archaic?

    I mostly trade stocks/ETFs and not futures so I may be missing something, but why do brokers produce clean gain/loss record keeping for stocks and ETFs, as well as individual buys/sells in transaction history, but for Futures it's just a daily or monthly pdf that's not easily copy/pasted.
