Journaling your trades is the habit every mentor recommends and almost nobody keeps, because doing it by hand is slow and easy to skip. A written diary can note the numbers, but it can never show what the chart actually looked like at the instant you entered or exited, which is exactly where the lesson lives.

Auto Trade Journal with Screenshots does it for you, automatically, for the whole account. Every time a trade opens, closes, is partially closed, or has its stop loss or take profit changed, it saves a screenshot of the chart at that exact moment and writes one row to a CSV with the full detail and the image path. It records manual trades and trades from any Expert alike.

Compatible with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, sold as separate products on the Market, so get the version that matches your terminal. Works on any symbol and any timeframe.

To capture the right chart for a trade on any symbol, it reuses a chart you already have open, or opens a temporary one, takes the shot and closes it again, without ever touching your own charts. It can capture the same moment across several timeframes at once. The CSV opens straight in Excel, Google Sheets or any journaling tool, with your choice of delimiter. It never opens or closes trades, it uses no WebRequest and no external connection, and all data stays on your computer.
