Set up one-key capture on Mac
Updated 9 October 2026
On this page
One-key capture sends a screenshot straight from your Mac to TradeStora. The AI reads it and the trade waits in your journal for you to check, so you never leave your chart.
Make a capture key
Open Settings > Capture keys and choose Generate key. Copy the key when it is shown: it is shown once. The same page shows your capture address.
Build the shortcut
Open the Shortcuts app and make a new shortcut with these actions, in this order:
- Take Screenshot
- Resize Image to a width of 2000 (pictures over 4 MB are refused)
- Get Contents of URL with your capture address, Method POST, Request Body Form, a File field named
screenshotset to the resized image, and a headerAuthorizationwith the valueBearerfollowed by your key
Run it once and allow it to take a screenshot when asked. That question only comes the first time.
Give it a key
In the shortcut's details choose Add Keyboard Shortcut, for example Control+Option+C. Press it on any chart.
Review what arrived
Trades sent this way are marked Unreviewed. Capture shows how many need review; choose Review in Journal, open each trade, fix anything the AI read wrong, and mark it reviewed.
Lost or leaked key?
Choose Revoke next to the key on Settings > Capture keys, confirm, and make a new one. The old key stops working at once.
