The Edgewonk alternative that's free and lives on your chart
Edgewonk is a well-loved analytics journal — but it's a paid annual licence and most of its work happens after the close, in data entry. ChartRecap takes a different angle: capture the chart in one click while the setup is still on your screen, then review which setups actually make you money and where your discipline slips — on a free plan, in the browser.
ChartRecap's free plan, June 2026. Edgewonk is a strong product too — pick the one whose workflow fits you. This page reflects our own product and publicly available information.
Where ChartRecap wins
Capture speed. A journal only works if you actually keep it. ChartRecap captures the chart, symbol, timeframe, and price in one click — from TradingView or its own terminal — so the context is attached before you forget why you entered.
Discipline you can measure. Score each trade against your playbook rules, then let auto-validated guardrails flag the trades with no stop and the days you blew your max loss — with a discipline streak to keep you honest.
Price & access. Free, no card, in the browser. Try the live demo or the free calculators before you sign up.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Edgewonk alternative?
Yes — ChartRecap has a genuinely free plan covering journaling, chart snapshots, analytics, plan-vs-execution review, discipline guardrails, trade replay, and broker CSV import, with no trade limit and no credit card. Edgewonk is sold as a paid annual licence.
What does ChartRecap do that a spreadsheet-style journal doesn't?
It captures the chart itself. Snapshot a setup in one click — from TradingView (paste or browser extension) or the built-in terminal — so the chart context attaches to the trade while it's still live, instead of being reconstructed from memory later.
Does ChartRecap track psychology and discipline like Edgewonk?
Yes. Tag setup grade and emotional state per trade, score plan-vs-execution adherence, and get auto-validated guardrails (every trade has a stop, max loss per trade/day) plus a discipline streak — with revenge-trade and oversizing detection.
Is it web-based?
Yes — ChartRecap runs in your browser, nothing to install. An optional Chrome extension makes TradingView capture a single keystroke.
Can I import my existing trades?
Yes — import CSV exports from Interactive Brokers, Thinkorswim, Webull, Schwab, and moomoo, or connect a broker via SnapTrade. Trades import as individual fills, so scaled positions stay accurate.
