Capture any TradingView chart in one keystroke
The free ChartRecap — TradingView Captureextension saves the chart you're viewing — symbol, timeframe, price, and the exact candle — straight into your trade journal with a single shortcut. No screenshots, no copy-paste, no reconstructing the setup after the close.
Add it to Chrome
Install the free ChartRecap — TradingView Capture extension and sign in to your ChartRecap account once.
Press the shortcut on any TradingView chart
One keystroke grabs the live chart — symbol, timeframe, price, and the exact candle you're looking at.
It lands in your journal
The snapshot attaches to a new or matching trade automatically, so the setup is saved while it's still live.
Why capture the chart, not just the trade?
Your fills tell you what you did; the chart tells you why. Capturing the live setup means your journal keeps the context that actually explains the trade — and ChartRecap's AI can read the chart image to detect the pattern, grade the setup, and narrate the before/after. See the TradingView trading journal for the full workflow, or try the live demo.

What does the extension capture from TradingView?
The chart you're viewing — symbol, timeframe, current price, and the exact candle — saved straight into your ChartRecap journal as a snapshot you can attach to a trade.
