The trading journal for TradingView users
Charting on TradingView but journaling in a spreadsheet? ChartRecap closes the gap: capture the exact chart you're looking at in one click — symbol, timeframe, price, and the precise candle attached — straight into a free trade journal with real analytics. No more reconstructing setups from memory after the close.
Two ways to capture from TradingView
Paste capture (no install). Hit Alt+S in TradingView to copy the chart link, paste it into ChartRecap, and the snapshot lands in your journal with the symbol, timeframe, and price parsed automatically.
One-keystroke extension. Install the free ChartRecap browser extension and a single shortcut grabs the live chart — the fastest way to journal without breaking your flow.
Then see which setups actually pay
Every captured chart links to its trade, so your win rate, expectancy, R-multiple, and equity curve build automatically — broken down by setup, tag, and time of day. Tag trades against your playbook to see what breaking your own rules costs. Try the live demo or the free calculators first — no account needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I journal a trade from TradingView?
Two ways. Press Alt+S in TradingView and paste the chart link into ChartRecap, or install the free ChartRecap browser extension to capture the chart with a single keystroke. The symbol, timeframe, price, and the exact candle attach to your journal entry automatically.
Do I need TradingView Premium?
No. Capture works with a free TradingView account — and ChartRecap also has its own built-in multi-chart terminal if you'd rather not use TradingView at all.
Is the TradingView journal free?
Yes. ChartRecap's free plan covers journaling, chart capture, analytics, plan-vs-execution review, broker CSV import, and trade replay — with no trade limit and no credit card.
Does it replace my TradingView account?
No — it complements it. Keep charting where you're comfortable; ChartRecap is the journal and analytics layer that captures those charts and shows you which setups actually make money.
Can I import my broker trades too?
Yes — CSV import from Interactive Brokers, Thinkorswim, Webull, Schwab, and moomoo, plus SnapTrade sync, so your TradingView snapshots and real fills live in one journal.
