Trading journal comparison for futures traders

How these comparisons are made
Each page compares only what TradeRecall covers: futures, forex and CFDs, on Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, Quantower, MetaTrader, cTrader and TradingView. What another product does is taken from its own site, pricing page and help center, with the date it was checked. When their site says nothing about something, the page says so, and does not claim they lack it.
What is the difference between TradeRecall and a web trading journal?
The web journals compared here mostly take your trades from a file you upload or from a sync with your broker; some also have add-ons for a few platforms. TradeRecall records from inside your trading platform while you trade: every fill, every move of your stop and target, a picture of your chart, and what you say during the trade, all kept on your computer.

Is there a free trading journal for futures?
TradeRecall's journal is free and stays free: trades and notes by hand, notes linked to trades by hand, import from your platform's files, your own chart pictures on any note and the day's review, reports, export and backup. The full version is yours for the first 30 days, without a card. Free futures trading journal
Is TradeRecall a subscription?
No. You buy it once for $300 and it is yours for good. Or you pay $33 a month, and after the 12th payment it is yours for good. If you stop the monthly payments before that, nothing is lost: the free journal keeps everything you recorded, and only the automatic features stop.
