ChartRecap

A day trading journal that finds your best hours and your worst habits

When you take a lot of trades, the edge is buried in patterns you cannot see by scrolling a broker statement: the hours that actually pay, the setups that don't, and the discipline breaks that cost you. ChartRecap surfaces all three, and does the part no spreadsheet can: it attaches the chart you traded and grades the setup you took.

Frequently asked questions

What should a day trading journal track?

For day traders the edge hides in patterns a spreadsheet won't surface: which hours actually make money, how often you break your own rules, and whether you size up right after a loss. ChartRecap breaks P&L down by time of day, flags revenge entries and no-stop trades, and scores plan-vs-execution on every trade.

Is the day trading journal free?

Yes. Unlimited trades, chart snapshots, analytics, the discipline guardrails, calendar, and broker CSV import are free with no credit card. AI setup grading and the weekly coach report are Pro.

Does it handle high trade volume and scale-ins?

Yes. Trades import as individual fills, so scale-ins and scale-outs stay accurate and each position is grouped flat-to-flat. Import via CSV from Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, Webull, Schwab, and moomoo (free), or connect a broker with SnapTrade (Pro).

Can it help me stop overtrading and revenge trading?

That is a core feature. ChartRecap detects entries taken within 30 minutes of a loss, tracks how your size changes after a losing trade, and keeps a discipline streak so the habit is visible. What gets measured gets managed.
