THE IDEA
What is a tradingscreenshot journal?
A screenshot journal is a trading journal built around chart images. You attach the chart to the plan or trade, mark the important levels and keep a before-and-after visual record alongside the trade details.
It preserves the exact chart context that was visible when the trade decision was made, which pure P&L and statistics cannot capture on their own.
