Capture

Journal the why without writing an essay

Why we built Capture

Free-text journals feel productive and teach you almost nothing. Three paragraphs about a bad day can't be counted, compared or ranked. If it can't be measured, it can't be fixed. So Capture asks a handful of tap-sized questions while the trade is fresh: why you took it, how sure you were, what state you were in and what you will do next. Your trades arrive on their own. You only add what a broker can never know.

Your trades arrive on their own

Mood and market, as data

Fixed options instead of adjectives, so “anxious in a sideways market” becomes a filter, not a memory.

When you break a rule, we ask why

A broken rule gets three quick questions: what drove it, when it happened and what came before. That is how one mistake becomes a visible pattern.

Close the loop before the next trade

After each trade, commit to one thing for the next one. Then let Tracktions check whether you kept your word.

What will you commit to on your next trade?

Repeat this setup

Quality was there; look for the same conditions next trade

Wait for better quality

Skip marginal setups until a high-conviction one appears

Reduce position size

Trade smaller to manage risk or rebuild confidence

Take a break

Step away before placing the next trade

Review this strategy

Check if this setup's edge is still holding up

Stay the course

No changes needed; continue executing the plan

Forward intent

Six commitments, one tap. Set while the last trade is still fresh.

Stickiest habit: Revenge, back 36 times.

Promises, kept score of

Say you would avoid a break again and Tracktions counts how often the same cause comes back.

Questions traders ask

What should I write in a trading journal?

The things your broker cannot record: which strategy the trade belonged to, how confident you were, your mood, the market condition, and, when you broke a rule, why. Tracktions turns each of these into a tap so the journal stays consistent and can be analysed.

Can Tracktions import my trades from Zerodha automatically?

Yes. Zerodha, Upstox, Dhan and Fyers connect for live sync, which pulls up to three years of history and then only new trades. Groww and AliceBlue tradebooks can be uploaded as files, and any broker works through the CSV template.

Does Tracktions place trades or touch my funds?

No. Tracktions only reads your trade history to analyse it. It never places, modifies or cancels orders, and it does not give buy or sell recommendations.

Is a structured trading journal better than free-text notes?

For finding patterns, yes. Fixed options such as mood, conviction and rule-break cause can be counted and compared across hundreds of trades, which free text cannot. Notes and chart screenshots are still there for trades that need more.

Do I have to answer questions for every trade?

Only a few taps. The rule-break questions appear only when a rule in your playbook was broken, so disciplined trades stay quick to log.
