A free stock trading journal that reads your charts
Your broker already has your numbers. What it doesn't have is the chart you were looking at when you took the trade. ChartRecap keeps that, grades the setup, and rolls every equity trade up into the metrics that separate a real edge from a hot streak: win rate, expectancy, and profit factor by setup.
One journal for how you actually trade stocks
Tag each trade against your playbook to see which setups carry your book, review the week on the calendar, and size the next entry with the position size calculator. Trading a specific style? See the swing trading journal or day trading journal. Or open the live demo with real sample data, no signup required.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stock trading journal free?
Yes. The free plan covers unlimited stock trades, chart snapshots, analytics, plan-vs-execution review, the calendar, and broker CSV import, with no credit card. AI setup grading and the weekly coach report are Pro.
Which brokers can I import from?
CSV import from Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, Webull, Schwab, and moomoo is free, and SnapTrade connects most US brokers for automatic sync on Pro. Trades import as individual fills, so partial exits and adds stay accurate.
What makes ChartRecap different from a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet stores your numbers, all of which are already in your broker statement. ChartRecap stores the chart you traded and reads it: the AI grades the entry setup and names the pattern, so you learn which setups pay instead of just totaling P&L.
Can I use it for swing and day trades?
Yes. It handles multi-day holds and high-volume intraday equally. There are dedicated pages for the swing trading journal and the day trading journal if you want the details for your style.
