Exactly how to set it up next to your chart.

Drop the area monitor over the bar you care about, pin the HUD where it won't get in the way, let it ride. Here's the setup our beta testers use on each platform.

TradingView
Web · macOS · Windows

Pop out the chart, set ClipCatch to "Region" and drag over the latest candle column. Area monitor triggers on any wick outside the range.

  • Works with pop-out windows
  • Ignores the replay scrubber
  • Saves with symbol in filename
N
NinjaTrader 8

Multi-chart workspace? Pick "Window", point it at NT's chart window, ClipCatch follows it around the desktop. Works across four monitors.

  • Multi-monitor aware
  • Survives workspace save/load
  • DOM + chart in one clip
S
Sierra Chart
Windows · order flow

Works beautifully with Footprint, Numbers Bars, and DOM. Area monitor arms on your delta imbalance study column.

  • Footprint-friendly
  • Handles 4K tick-by-tick
  • Low-latency recording

The ladder is the whole game. Point the area monitor at the ladder, catch every print that moves more than a tick in your queue.

  • Size-in-queue analysis

Desktop

Custom indicators everywhere. Capture the signal the second your script prints it — area monitor on the signal column only.

What makes it different

Two features that matter for tape.

Area monitor

A watchdog pointed at your newest bar.

Drag a rectangle around the latest candle. When the pixels inside change more than your threshold, ClipCatch auto-saves the 60 seconds leading up to it. No manual saves, no missed moves.

Save-before

The clip of what you just watched.

You press the button after the move. ClipCatch rewinds into RAM, writes the previous 60 seconds to disk, and keeps recording. Save 30 clips in a session without thinking.

Answers

Trader-specific questions.

Can I use it for my funded eval?

Yes. Export as MP4 with a timestamp overlay. Works as legal evidence for every major eval firm we've tested.

Does my mentor group see the clip?

Only if you share it. Clips are written to your local Movies folder. Nothing uploads, nothing syncs.

Can I record two charts at once?

Yes — run multiple area monitors, each with its own region. They share one buffer engine to keep CPU low.

Does it survive a platform restart?

ClipCatch tracks the window, not the process. Restart NinjaTrader, MotiveWave, whatever — ClipCatch reacquires when the window comes back.

What about crypto exchanges?

Same deal. If it's on your screen — Bybit, Bitget, TradingView on BTCUSD — we record it.

I trade on my iPad. Help?

You'd need an iPad on your Mac (Sidecar or mirroring). Once it's on the desktop, ClipCatch captures it like any other source.
