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:

http://download.techsmith.com/camtasiastudio/enu/312/camtasiaf.exe

 

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!

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
