The Stonk Journal alternative with broker import & analytics
Stonk Journal is a well-loved free journal for logging trades by hand. ChartRecap keeps the free part but removes the manual grind: import trades straight from your broker, capture the chart in one click instead of uploading screenshots, and get real analytics and trade replay — so your journal turns into a measurable edge, not just a notebook.
ChartRecap's free plan, June 2026. Stonk Journal is a great simple manual journal — if you want broker import and deeper analytics on top of a free plan, ChartRecap is built for that. This page reflects our own product and publicly available information.
Where ChartRecap wins
Less typing. Import from your broker or capture the chart in one click — instead of logging every trade and screenshot by hand.
Real analytics. Expectancy, R-multiple, win rate, drawdown, plan-vs-execution scoring, and a missed-trades log — the numbers that tell you whether you actually have an edge.
Still free. No trade cap, no card. Try the live demo or the free calculators first.
Frequently asked questions
Is ChartRecap free like Stonk Journal?
Yes — ChartRecap's core journal is genuinely free with no trade limit and no credit card. The difference is depth: you also get broker CSV import, one-click chart capture, full analytics, and trade replay on the free plan.
Can ChartRecap import my trades?
Yes. Unlike manual-only journals, ChartRecap imports from your broker via SnapTrade and CSV (Interactive Brokers, Thinkorswim, Webull, Schwab, moomoo) and MT4/MT5 statements — so you don't have to type every trade in by hand.
Does ChartRecap capture charts?
Yes — in one click. Instead of manually uploading a screenshot, press a shortcut in TradingView (or use the built-in terminal) and the exact chart, symbol, timeframe, and price attach to the trade automatically.
What does ChartRecap add over a simple manual journal?
Plan-vs-execution rule scoring, setup grade and emotion tagging, revenge-trade and post-loss sizing detection, a missed-trades log, bar-by-bar replay, and AI that reads the chart — turning notes into a measurable edge.
