AdvancedTradeLog is a system that allows you to keep visual register of what you had in your chart when you take a trade decision. Basically it takes screenshots of your chart each time you open, modify or close a trade. But not just that, AdvancedTradeLog gives you the ability to record the reasons of why you take those decisions. All who had been trading some time knows that keep a track-record of what you decide and why on the market, is a powerful tool to improve your performance.
AdvancedTradeLog (ATL) is equipped with a system that allows you to use "shortcuts" on the screen to add the most common reasons in your strategy to make a decision. You can modify this shortcuts to better fit with your strategy. Short-cuts can be things like "Break out", "Morning Star Reversal", "Bounce at fib. 61.8%", "Break Out Failure", "Fundamental pro dollar", etc. You can write them as you wish.
The images will be stored in your disk, organized by account, symbol (pair). The images will be named with the order's ticket number, date and time. so you can easily relate them with your trade report (account statement).
