{% hint style="success" %}
Note: Displaying the MACVU directly on your trading workspace screen or monitor—rather than on a mobile device or tablet—allows screen recording software to capture the MACVU status in real time. This can be especially beneficial for reviewing your sessions and accelerating your learning through detailed playback and analysis.
