Software to record my trading screen???

Recommended Posts

Free is always good :)

 

Camtasia is what most people I know use, and what I use. I like that I can annotate on the screen while I'm recording. If you can find something that can do that for free, then all the better.

Camtasia, an older version 3 is available for free below. It is not pirated, just their way of getting you to try it. It allows for video and audio recording and good compression.

 

To register for a key:

To download:

You may also want to consider something like Ninjatrader, which is free for charting, simulation and playback of recorded data.

"This offer is no longer available"

 

This is what they say on the key link. I was going to give the same info but saw that the offer is now off the table. :(

I'll 2nd Camtasia as well. Good program!

 

You might be able to do it with SnagIt as well, which is less expensive than Camtasia.

 

Snagit is just screen capture utility. It's the best out there IMO but it doesn't capture video.

Apparently SnagIt does record video of your actions on the screen (see attachment). I have never used it for that purpose, so can't vouch for it, but for a free program it could be worth trying first?

 

I have the non-latest version of SnagIt, which is made available by its makers so that you can try it and if you like, upgrade to the paid version. Nice business model.

 

So SnagIt for free is available to download from here, the registration key is:

YW6RC-4YMK6-SZBBD-C2MCW-Q9D96

 

I hope this still works, of not let me know and can try to find alternative.

Son of a gun...never noticed that there in the year I've used the software.

It's very basic but for most it would probably suffice.

 

Cool stuff thanks. :)

I donot know whether this is the right place to post it. If not, moderators please remove this post.

 

There is a great free software to edit the still images. Just google paint.net. Download the programme and see whether it serves purpose. I have found it useful.

I'm a die-hard SnagIt user. I used to use paint and now I do so much on SnagIt it's not even funny for $49.95. You can easily screenshot, annotate the hell out of it, save if any format, do live screen recordings, etc. It's not just a basic screen capture. Version 9 just came out and it has a nice feel to it along w/ some much needed upgrades.

I use Snagit all day long. I use it to annote charts and review. I capture a screen shot of my charts or video a trade in real time. Then after writing notes all over the saved chart I then "Copy All" and then bring it over and paste to my EverNote.

 

If you are not familiar with EverNote I would encourage you to check it out. With EverNote I save pages, pdf's and anything I want from the web and categorize. Everything I deem worthy of review and further study is all in one place and organized. All I need to do is click on the Category and all my own notes or other writings from Snagit, TL etc. is right there for me in my EverNote.

Don't be cheap and buy Camtasia and /or Snagit. Both are excellent.

Be aware though that if you record live ticks and commentate you will need tons of ram and a big processor otherwise you get the speech lagging the screen.

 

Oh and Be prepared to watch yourself make a complete ***!!** of yourself - my best one was where I found myself shouting at the replay " No buy don't sell".

I've used CamStudio

 

http://camstudio.org/

 

For some time. It seems to work great. I also grabbed the "FM Screen Capture Codec" and it makes very small video files. Very nice. I've been using VirtualDub for playback sometimes if I need to find a specific frame because it makes it very quick to scroll through the frames.

I just watched the overview video of SnagIt on the website and found it interesting that it says "Created with Camtasia Studio". I guess they don't dogfood their own software.

 

I use OneNote by Microsoft for screen clippings. It's like EverNote but for users who like to use folders and categories. Screen clippings are actually just a small feature and it has a lot of very cool features. For example, while it can't record videos of your screen, it can record videos from your webcam and audio from your microphone and it uses notes that you make during the recording as bookmarks.

SnagIt is the "low end" product (typically for screen shots, recently added video I think) Camtasia Studio is the full product--so, it's the same company, same dogfood.

Sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the clarification!

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
