RizeTrade helps Schwab traders preserve the context that fades after the session: what you saw, why you entered, what you planned, and where discipline changed.
01 — Schwab
A Trade Gets Simpler in Memory Than It Really Was
A week later, a complicated session can turn into a few prices and a P&L number.
You remember that you lost. You may not remember that the first setup was valid, the second entry was rushed, and the final trade happened because you wanted to finish green.
That lost context is exactly what makes old mistakes easy to repeat.

See Historical Executions on the Chart
RizeTrade lets you go back to previous trading dates and see your buys and sells directly on the chart.
That gives you something account history cannot: visual context around the decision.
- Where was price relative to your level?
- Did you chase?
- Did the stop make sense?
- Was the exit planned or emotional?
The longer you wait, the harder those questions become to answer from memory alone.

Preserve the Reason Before It Disappears
A useful journal captures more than the result.
Record the setup, the rule you were following, the emotion you noticed, and what changed during the trade. The goal is not to write an essay after every execution. It is to keep enough context that the trade still makes sense when you review it later.

Turn Old Trades Into Comparable Patterns
Once the context is preserved, you can compare trades by setup, time of day, size, stop behavior, emotions, and rule adherence.
Maybe your biggest problem is not losing trades. It is that after one loss, your next entries happen earlier and with less confirmation.
That insight only appears when the trades remain connected to the decisions behind them.
05 — Schwab
Capture the Context in a Few Useful Fields
You do not need a long diary entry for every Schwab trade.
A setup tag, rule score, emotion, stop, target, and one sentence about the decision can preserve enough context for a meaningful review later. The aim is to make journaling sustainable while the memory is still fresh.
That small amount of structure turns a historical execution into something you can compare months later, instead of another line in an account statement.

Ask Trading Mentor AI
Ask:
- Which setups have my best rule adherence?
- What happens after my first loss?
- When do I move stops?
- Which emotions appear before my weakest trades?
Your brokerage history records what happened. Your journal should preserve why.
How it works
Three steps, then the reviewing starts. No spreadsheet, no manual entry.
- 1
Bring your history in
Connect Schwab or upload a CSV export. Executions are matched into trades automatically — partial fills and multi-leg options included.
- 2
Tag what happened
Setup, emotion, rule followed, stop and target. A few fields per trade is enough to make the review meaningful later.
- 3
Review the patterns
Filter by any variable and compare. The reports show which setups pay, which habits cost, and whether you followed your own plan.
Questions
- Do you store my Schwab password?
- No. RizeTrade never stores broker credentials, and never places, modifies or touches an order in your account. The connection is read-only.
- How do I get my Schwab trades in?
- Connect the account for automatic sync, or export a CSV and upload it. Either way your existing history comes in on the first import, not just trades from today onward.
- Does it handle options and futures?
- Yes. Verticals, condors, butterflies and diagonals are grouped as single positions rather than loose legs, and expired contracts close themselves. Futures carry their own multipliers and tick sizes.
- What if I have years of history?
- Import it all. A longer record makes the reports more useful, because patterns in setups, times of day and rule-breaking only become visible across a large sample.
- Can I cancel?
- Yes, at any time. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can import your history and see your own numbers before committing.
Stop guessing. Review your trading.
Your Schwab history already contains evidence of what you do well and where your process breaks down. RizeTrade helps you see it.
