TraderSync is a web journal that syncs the brokers it supports and takes a file from the rest, Sierra Chart and Quantower among them. TradeRecall records those platforms while you trade, on your own computer.
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.

| Your voice | A hotkey while the trade is live: the note goes into that trade at the moment you said it, written out on your computer | Not on their site |
| Plan and review | ||
| Premarket plan | Spoken; your levels drawn on your chart | Plan Builder: rules you write, checked against your history |
| Trades you passed on | Say you are passing and your numbers; checked later against the market | Not on their site |

Yes, for futures, forex and CFDs. TraderSync gives seven days, then a paid plan. TradeRecall's journal does not end: you keep entering trades and notes by hand, importing your platform's files, reading the standard reports and exporting, for free. What you try for 30 days from your first trade is the automatic part. Free trading journal
In TraderSync you add the stop and target by hand, or set defaults that are added to every trade; a record of each move during the trade is not on their site. TradeRecall keeps every move, with its time and price, from Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, Quantower, MetaTrader and cTrader. NinjaTrader trading journal
A file uploaded after the close tells you what was filled. It does not tell you what you were thinking, or where your stop was a minute before.
One key combination, and what you say lands in the open trade, timed to the second you said it.
A stop dragged closer, a target pulled in early: each change sits in the trade with its price.
Your own chart, as it looked at every fill and every stop or target move, with nothing to attach.
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.
No. It records from inside Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, Quantower, MetaTrader and cTrader, so it never asks for your broker login.
