Edgewonk vs TradesViz (2026) — Which Is Better?

Edgewonk and TradesViz are two of the highest-rated trading journals on the market — Edgewonk at 4.7/5, TradesViz at 4.2/5. Both are serious analytics platforms for traders who've outgrown a spreadsheet. Edgewonk's approach is psychology-first, with structured mistake tracking and rule-discipline scoring. TradesViz's approach is data-first, with 600+ statistics and AI-powered analysis at the Platinum tier. Both are good; they solve different problems.

Edgewonk: single-tier, psychology-first

Edgewonk is one product tier — no free version, no feature paywalls. Current pricing: 1-year plan at $12.32/month (billed as $147.84/year with 4 free months bonus). 14-day money-back guarantee.

What you get: automated broker imports, the Edge Finder weekly scan (automatic performance and mistake detection), session report cards, custom trade tagging, R-multiple tracking, and equity curve analysis by strategy/session/setup.

The core philosophy is that trading edges compound through psychology and discipline, not just statistics. Edgewonk pushes you to tag mistakes (broke rules, oversized, cut winner early), track adherence to your trading plan, and review sessions for behavioral patterns. Edge Finder surfaces the specific bad habits your data reveals.

TradesViz: three-tier, data-first

TradesViz has three tiers: Basic free (essential journaling and imports), Pro $19.99/mo (all asset type imports, 100+ charts, advanced filtering), Platinum $29.99/mo (AI Coach Trading Review, AI Q&A, simulators, options flow, 600+ statistics).

Platinum is where TradesViz distinguishes itself. AI Coach analyzes your trade history and identifies patterns automatically — overtrading Mondays, oversizing after wins, cutting winners early. AI Q&A lets you ask natural-language questions like "what's my win rate on gap-and-go setups when the market opens above the 20-day EMA?" and get an actual answer from your data.

Simulators are underrated — you can rehearse a strategy against historical data using the same journal interface, then compare simulated to live results.

Analytics depth

TradesViz Platinum's 600+ statistics is genuinely comprehensive — every conceivable slicing of your trade data (by day, session, setup, size, market state, holding time, etc.). Overwhelming for casual users; genuinely powerful for advanced traders who want to find their edge in the data.

Edgewonk's stats are focused and opinionated — the ones that actually matter for identifying leaks. Fewer numbers, more insight. Edge Finder is designed to surface the 2-3 things you should actually fix rather than 600 metrics you'll never look at.

Different philosophies. Serious quants may find Edgewonk too opinionated; behavior-driven discretionary traders may find TradesViz too abstract.

Broker integration and import

Both support automated imports from major brokers — Interactive Brokers, TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, TradeStation, plus futures brokers (NinjaTrader, AMP), forex brokers (MT4, MT5, cTrader), and crypto exchanges.

TradesViz's Pro tier supports imports across all asset classes; Basic tier has limited import support.
Edgewonk's single tier supports imports across most major brokers with active development on new integrations.

For a trader with multiple brokers/asset classes, either works. Neither is dramatically better than the other on import breadth.

Cost math at annual

Edgewonk: $147.84/year (with 4 free months bonus, effectively 16 months of access).
TradesViz Pro annual: ~$200/year.
TradesViz Platinum annual: ~$300/year.

Edgewonk is meaningfully cheaper than TradesViz Pro. TradesViz Platinum is 2x Edgewonk's cost — you're paying for the AI Coach and simulators, which are genuinely different in kind from what Edgewonk offers.

Psychology tracking is Edgewonk's core

Edgewonk's mistake tracking is opinionated: you tag trades with pre-defined mistake categories (broke rules, oversized, revenge trade, chased breakout), and the system correlates mistakes with outcomes. Over months, patterns emerge — "you break rules 3x more often on Fridays" — that a stats-only journal wouldn't surface as clearly.

TradesViz has trade tagging and custom fields but the workflow isn't built around behavioral tracking. AI Coach at Platinum surfaces behavioral patterns from data alone (without you having to tag) — a different route to the same outcome.

Data ownership

Both are cloud-based with CSV export. Both support account termination with data download.

Neither offers local-only storage. If you require your trade history to stay on your own machine, look elsewhere (spreadsheet, custom Excel workflow).

Free tier availability

TradesViz has a permanent free Basic tier — essential journaling and imports, no time limit. Genuinely useful for testing the workflow.

Edgewonk has no free tier. 14-day money-back guarantee is the closest thing — you buy, use it, refund if it doesn't fit.

For traders who want to try before paying, TradesViz Basic is the better entry point.

Our take

Pick Edgewonk if: psychology and discipline are your primary edge, you want structured mistake tracking that surfaces behavioral patterns, and you prefer one price with no feature paywalls. Best for discretionary traders working on their consistency.

Pick TradesViz Pro if: you want auto-import across all asset classes at a competitive price point ($19.99/mo), and you don't need AI-driven analysis or simulators.

Pick TradesViz Platinum if: you want AI Coach analyzing your patterns automatically, you want to rehearse strategies via simulators, or you want the deepest statistics platform available in retail trading journals.

Both are excellent. Edgewonk's 4.7/5 rating and TradesViz's Platinum-tier AI features reflect genuinely different approaches to the same problem. Try TradesViz Basic free first; if the psychology-first workflow of Edgewonk appeals more, take the 14-day guarantee.
