Edgekeeper vs Tradervue
Tradervue is one of the longest-running trading journals there is, built around execution-level imports, detailed trade notes and sharing your journal with a coach or a group. Edgekeeper overlaps on the journaling and diverges on the reason for it: it is built for traders whose account has published rules that can end it.
What Tradervue does better
- Years of accumulated depth. It handles execution-level data, complex fills and unusual instrument types that a younger tool has simply not met yet.
- Sharing a journal with a coach or a study group is first-class there, and Edgekeeper has no equivalent — a partner cohort dashboard is aggregate-only and deliberately shows no individual student.
- If you have traded for a decade and want one archive that has seen every edge case, that is a real argument.
What Edgekeeper does differently
Built around the account rules, not around the trade log
The centre of Edgekeeper is not the list of trades. It is the account: what the firm permits, where the floor is today, how many trading days you have banked, and what a losing session does to all three. The journal feeds that; it is not the destination.
Rules you write, checked as you log
Write down "no trades after two losses" or "maximum 1% risk" and the app checks each trade against it, tags the ones that broke it, and tells you the signed P&L of the trades that broke each rule — including when breaking it made money, because pretending otherwise is how a rule loses its authority.
Payout and evaluation tracking
For a funded account: what still stands between you and a payout, and what would disqualify one right now. For an evaluation: which day you are on, the daily average you need from here, and a projected pass date computed from your own pace — or nothing at all when your pace does not support a projection.
- You want to share a full journal with a coach or a trading group.
- You have a long, complicated trade history that predates prop firms entirely.
- You trade instruments or structures a prop-firm-shaped tool has no opinion about.
- Your account has a drawdown floor, a daily limit and a consistency rule attached to it.
- You want the app to know what your firm actually published rather than storing a number you typed.
- You want a discipline measure that is not the same thing as your P&L.
Questions
Can I import my Tradervue history?
Yes, through CSV. The importer detects the header row, maps the columns and shows a preview before writing. Trades that arrive without a stop can be enriched afterwards with a risk-per-trade figure so the R-multiples are not all blank.
Does Edgekeeper do execution-level detail?
Partly. Partial exits are recorded and shown on the trade detail and edit views, and fill-log exports are reconstructed into round-trip trades on import. But the flat trade row stays canonical: every analytic, export and prop calculation reads it, so the account maths can never disagree with the journal.
Is there a free tier?
Yes, and it is a working journal rather than a trial: unlimited trades, the core analytics, one prop account with its firm's real rules, the rule engine, the position calculator and the weekly review.
