Entry Screenshots Guide

Screenshots let you attach chart images to your trade entries during backtesting sessions. Use them to document setups, entries, exits, and important price action for later review.

Accessing Entry Screenshots

Navigate to Tab 5 (Screenshots) in the right panel. You'll see the Entry Screenshots table listing all entries from the current session.

Entry Screenshots Table

The table displays your entries with the following columns:

  • Date - When the entry was recorded
  • Result - The trade result
  • Net PnL - Net profit/loss for the entry
  • Screenshots - Count of attached screenshots

Use the search bar to find entries by text, or use the filter dropdown to show:

  • All Entries - Every entry in the session
  • With Screenshots - Only entries that have screenshots
  • Without Screenshots - Only entries without screenshots

Adding Screenshots

There are two ways to add screenshots to an entry:

Method 1: Import Chart Screenshot

  1. Position the chart to show what you want to capture
  2. Click the "Import Chart to Entry" button on the TradingView chart toolbar
  3. The current chart is captured automatically
  4. If you already have an entry selected in the Screenshots panel, the image uploads immediately
  5. Otherwise, a banner appears: click on any entry in the Screenshots panel to import it

Method 2: Manual Upload

  1. Navigate to Tab 5 (Screenshots)
  2. Click on an entry row in the table
  3. In the upload view, drag and drop images or click to browse files

  5. Click the Back button to return to the table view
