Run a session review

Recording is the easy half. This page is the other half: a short, repeatable routine for turning a day’s clips into decisions you can act on tomorrow. It uses the Library, the Review screen and tags; nothing here needs a feature you don’t already have.

Nothing on this page promises better results. A review routine makes your behaviour visible; what you do with that is still up to you.

Before you start

Same time, same length. Fifteen to twenty minutes, after the close or before the next open. A routine that needs an hour stops happening.
Open the Library and filter to today. Sort by time. The New badge shows what you haven’t reviewed yet; the goal of the session is an empty Unwatched list, not a verdict on the day.
Have your plan next to you. The review compares what you did with what you said you’d do. Without the plan, it turns into commentary.

The checklist

Work through every clip once, in order. For each trade:

Read Tale of the Tape before you press play. Points, size, hold, peak and heat, each against your own average for that instrument. Anything highlighted as an outlier is the first thing to look for in the footage.
Jump to entry (E). Watch the seconds before the fill. What was on the DOM? What was the chart doing? Was this a setup from the plan, or did a move on screen pull you in?
Watch the hold at 2×. Where did you look? Did you touch the order? If the trade ran to its peak and came back, the footage shows what you were watching while it did.
Jump to exit (X). Was the exit the plan, the stop, or a feeling? The Trade lane marks peak and heat when your platform reports them, so you can see how far the exit was from either.
Pin one moment (⚑). The single instant that decided the trade. One, not five.
Tag it. Setup, mistake type, or session state — whatever your tag scheme uses. Tags are what make next month’s review possible.
Write two lines. In the notes panel: what actually happened, and what you’d do at that moment next time. The four Reflect topics are prompts, not a form to complete.
Rate the mood. How the trade felt, not how it paid.

Then filter the Library by the tag you used most today and watch two or three older clips with the same tag. Patterns show up across sessions, not inside one.

Questions worth asking every session

Did the losing trades share a time of day, an instrument, or a size?
Which trade had the widest gap between peak and points? What were you watching while it gave the move back?
Was any entry taken while a previous trade was still open, or within a minute of a previous exit?
Did size change after a loss? The Size column in the Library answers this in one glance.
Which clip would you least want a coach to see? Watch that one twice.

An illustrative walkthrough

The trades, numbers and notes below are made up to show the routine. They are not real trading results and not a claim about what Recap users achieve.

A trader closes the day with five NQ clips. The Library shows three wins and two losses; Tale of the Tape flags the second loss because its hold time is three times the trader’s average.

They open that clip first. At entry, the DOM shows a level the plan didn’t name. The chart on the second monitor was mid-way through a pullback the trader had said they’d wait to complete. At 2×, the hold shows the trade go to its peak within a minute and then fade; the cursor hovers over the exit button twice without clicking. The exit comes at the stop.

They pin the second hover, tag the clip early-entry and held-past-plan, and write: “Entered before the pullback finished. Saw the exit twice and didn’t take it. Next time: if I’m hovering, I’m exiting.” Mood: second face.

Filtering the Library by early-entry shows four clips from the past two weeks. All four are NQ, all four between 09:30 and 09:45. That is the note for tomorrow’s plan, and it took twelve minutes to find.

Keep it going

Don’t review every clip on a big day. Filter to losses plus the one best win. The routine survives if it stays short.
Once a week, review by tag instead of by day. Ten clips of one mistake teach more than fifty clips of one session.
Share Clip puts the file in front of a coach or a trading partner as an ordinary .mp4, with your recorded audio mixed in.
