Edgekeeper vs Edgewonk
Edgewonk is a journal for traders who want to measure their own psychology in detail — custom fields, tilt and consistency measures, and a lot of control over what gets tracked. Edgekeeper cares about the same question and answers it more narrowly: it grades you against rules you wrote and against limits your firm published.
What Edgewonk does better
- Customisable tracking fields go further than Edgekeeper's. If you want to measure something specific to your own process, they will let you define it and Edgekeeper will not.
- Its psychological instrumentation has been refined over a long time and by traders who wrote seriously about the subject.
- It does not assume you trade a funded account, so nothing about it is shaped around a rule set you may not have.
What Edgekeeper does differently
Discipline is measured against something external
A self-rated mood is worth recording and Edgekeeper records it. But the discipline score weights it least, because the parts that can be checked — did this trade break a rule you wrote, was the risk consistent, was the loss controlled — are checkable and a self-report is not.
The prop-account maths is the product
Trailing drawdown floors that stop rising at a firm-specific point, daily limits that watch realized or live equity depending on the firm, a trading day that rolls at the firm's reset time in the firm's timezone. Getting those wrong is what ends accounts, and they are not a field you can configure your way to.
It runs in the browser and the free tier is real
Nothing to install, nothing to license per machine, and the free tier holds unlimited trades with all the core analytics rather than expiring.
- You want to define your own tracked variables and metrics.
- Deep psychological self-measurement is the main thing you want from a journal.
- You do not trade a funded account.
- You want the app to tell you what your firm allows today, before the trade.
- You would rather have four numbers you can trace than forty you cannot.
- You want your rules enforced at the point of logging, not reviewed later.
Questions
Can I bring my Edgewonk data across?
Through CSV, yes. The importer handles European number formats and semicolon-delimited files as well as comma ones, and shows a preview before anything is saved.
Does Edgekeeper have a tilt meter?
Not by that name. It records mood and mistake tags on each trade, tracks a clean streak of consecutive days that broke no rule, and scores loss control as one component of the discipline composite. A losing day does not reset the streak — losing money while keeping every rule is the process working.
Is my data private?
Your journal is yours. Row-level security scopes every table to your own account, and the only aggregate view that exists — a partner cohort dashboard — has no money field on its payload at all and shows nothing whatsoever below five students.
