Trading time tracking

Record preparation and trading time so you can understand when and how long you work.

Optional, highly recommended

See where your trading time goes.

Trading time tracking is optional, but recording your sessions makes it easier to learn how much time you spend preparing and trading — and when that work happens.

  1. 01
    Workspace header

    Check in when you begin

    Select Check In whenever you start preparing or trading. You can check in at any time; it does not need to be exactly at the market open.

    Start a new tracking session from the Check In control.
  2. 02
    Active session

    Check out when you finish — or cancel the check-in

    While a session is active, the header shows its running time. Select Out to save the session when you are finished, or select the × control to cancel a check-in you do not want to keep.

    Automatic analysis

    Understand preparation time and trading time

    Spectral automatically divides each recorded session around the market open, so you can analyze time spent on trade preparation before the open and time spent trading after it. Use the record to build a clearer picture of your routine over time.
