ChartRecap

A swing trading journal that reviews your setups, not just your P&L

Swing trading lives and dies on setup selection and patience. Yet most journals only record the outcome, so a lucky entry and a disciplined one look identical in the numbers. ChartRecap fixes that: it captures the chart you actually traded, grades the entry, and shows which of your setups make money over your holds and which quietly bleed it.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good swing trading journal?

Swing trading is won on setup selection and patience, so a good journal has to show whether your read was right, not just whether the trade worked out. ChartRecap attaches the chart you traded, grades the entry setup, and rolls every hold up into win rate, expectancy, and profit factor by setup so you can see which patterns actually pay.

Is the swing trading journal free?

Yes. The free plan covers unlimited trades, chart snapshots, analytics, plan-vs-execution review, calendar, and broker CSV import, with no credit card. The AI setup grading and weekly coach report are Pro.

Can it grade the setup I traded?

Yes, and that is the whole point. Capture the chart in one click and the AI reads the entry, grades it A–F, and names the pattern, so a hot streak and a real edge stop looking the same. No other journal reads the chart itself.

Can I import my swing trades and hold them across days?

Yes. Import via CSV from Thinkorswim, Interactive Brokers, Webull, Schwab, and moomoo (free) or connect a broker with SnapTrade (Pro). Multi-day holds keep their entry and exit times so your R-multiples and hold-time analytics are accurate.
