The Chartlog alternative that grades your setup
Chartlog is a slick journal for US-equity day traders — it plots each trade on a TradingView chart, auto-syncs from about ten US brokers in real time, and lets you replay and sample-test your setups. ChartRecap adds the read Chartlog leaves out: its AI looks at the chart you captured and grades the setup A–F — Chartlog shows you the chart, ChartRecap critiques it. Across stocks, options, futures and forex, on a genuinely free plan.
