TradeRecall does: each time you move a stop or target in Sierra Chart, the new price and the time are added to the trade. TradesViz's Sierra Chart study sends your executions, and its trade page holds one stop and one target that you enter. Sierra Chart trading journal
An execution says what you did. What you meant to do is in the stop you set, the moves you made, and what you said while it happened.
Spoken while the position is open, turned into text on your own computer, never typed afterwards.
The first stop, each move, and the one that took you out, all in the trade.
The picture is of the chart you trade on, as it looked at that moment, not one redrawn later.
Yes, from your platform: TradeRecall imports the files Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader and Quantower export, so earlier trades come in from the platform where you made them.
No. Reading your voice notes happens on your computer and nothing from your journal goes to anyone else's servers. Reading what you say needs 24 GB of memory or more; with less, your voice is only turned into text.
Yes, on a Mac with Apple silicon. Sierra Chart and NinjaTrader run in Windows under Parallels on the Mac, and TradeRecall sets up the connection to them.
