What it reads
- The Long/Short position tool — instrument, direction, entry, stop and target from its price labels, plus the risk-to-reward.
- A positions panel or a trade history — the trades listed, with their result.
- Several trades in one image? Propbook lists them and you pick the one to log.
Three steps
- Open “Log a trade” and drop the screenshot, paste it (Ctrl/Cmd+V) or browse for it.
- Check the fields Propbook filled in. Every one stays editable.
- Type your risk in dollars — the P&L and the R multiple follow from the prices. Save, and the screenshot stays attached to the trade.
Why you type the risk
A position tool's dollar amounts come from TradingView's own sizing settings, not from your account. So Propbook takes the levels and the R:R from the chart, and the money from you — which keeps the P&L honest.
Private by design
The screenshot is read in your browser, on your device. The image is never uploaded to read it, and Pip, the AI coach, never sees it.
Tips for a clean read
- Keep the position tool's price labels visible.
- Crop out other panels if the chart is busy.
- Use a PNG, JPG or WebP image.
- One trade per image reads fastest; several work too.
Then the rules update
Saving the trade recalculates the account's drawdown room, daily-loss room, target and consistency. Log the same trade to several accounts at once if you copied it. More in every journal feature.
Try it with a chart you already have

Is my screenshot uploaded anywhere?
No. It is read on your device, in the browser. The image is never uploaded to read it.
Which charts work?
TradingView charts with the Long/Short position tool and visible price labels, and positions or trade-history panels.
Why doesn't it fill the P&L from a position tool?
The dollar amounts on a position tool come from TradingView's sizing settings, not your account. You type your risk and the P&L follows from the prices.
Is it free?
Yes — logging, screenshots and the rule tracking are part of the free journal.
