Free, no card. Plus a bonus: the full version for your first 30 days.
Futures, forex and CFDs only, on the platforms TradeRecall works with.

With Trademetria, yes: their Sierra Chart guide has you save the Trade Activity Log and upload it. With TradeRecall, no: a study on your Sierra Chart chart passes each fill to your journal as it happens. Sierra Chart trading journal
A file exported at night has the fills. The trader who made them is already somewhere else.
Say why you took it, while you hold it. Your words stay in that trade with the time you said them.
Every adjustment of your stop and target, kept in order, so you can see what you did with your risk.
A picture of your chart in the platform at every fill and every stop or target move.
Yes. Every account is kept apart, and simulation and live are never mixed; evaluation and funded accounts can be kept apart in portfolios.
On your computer. Nothing from your journal goes to anyone else's servers.
Yes, on a Mac with Apple silicon. Sierra Chart and NinjaTrader run in Windows under Parallels there, and TradeRecall sets up the connection to them.
