TradesViz vs Edgewonk: the account count and the options legs decide it

Both journals are bought for the same reason: not to keep a record of trades, which every journal does, but to find out from your own fills which setups, hours and habits make or lose money. That is why a reader who has got past the record-keeping products ends up with these two. They are not evenly matched. TradesViz is ahead on most of what can be counted — a free plan, options handling, the number of brokers that sync, price charts, month-to-month billing. Edgewonk keeps its users for two specific reasons, and if neither applies to you the choice is already made.

The account count

TradesViz prices by accounts as well as features. The free plan is one trading account; Pro, $14.99 a month billed annually, is ten; Platinum, $22.49 billed annually, is twenty. Edgewonk sells one plan with unlimited journals, unlimited broker and prop-firm accounts and unlimited trades, plus a portfolio page that combines every journal into one set of statistics.

For most traders ten accounts is plenty, and this does not matter. For someone trading several prop-firm evaluations and funded accounts at once — which accumulate quickly, and each of which is an account — the arithmetic changes: past ten, TradesViz means Platinum whether or not you want its market tools, and past twenty there is no TradesViz plan that holds them. That is Edgewonk's first reason to exist.

How the trades arrive

Edgewonk's second reason is MetaTrader. Its only background sync is for MetaTrader 4 and 5: it issues an FTP target, MetaTrader's own report publishing writes to it on a 60-minute refresh, and MT4 also publishes on every trade action; an MT5 Expert Advisor is a second route, issued by support on request. For a forex or CFD trader on MetaTrader that is a journal that fills itself. For everyone else Edgewonk is an upload: the other 64 platforms on its list, Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader and Tradovate among them, mean exporting a statement and uploading it before each review.

TradesViz's list is longer and more mixed. Of 264 brokers and platforms, 62 carry a native sync that runs every 24 hours and ten more sync through Plaid, on paid plans only. The other 192 sync by what the vendor calls the Google Drive method: you still export the file yourself and drop it into a shared folder, and TradesViz reads it every 12 hours. So "auto-sync" means three different things on one list. Look up your own broker's row, not the headline count.

Options, and price charts

If you trade options as spreads, stop here. TradesViz imports stock options, futures options and the other asset types as first-class instruments on its paid plans, detects spreads on import, and charts Greeks against performance and each position's payoff. Edgewonk imports options through per-broker symbol parsers that arrived one broker at a time across 2024 and 2025; its card finds nothing describing a multi-leg position grouped as one, and Greeks appear nowhere.

Edgewonk also has no market data. It draws no price charts — you attach up to six screenshots per trade — and every field it reports is computed from what you imported, which is why it works for any market. TradesViz draws charts, but its market data is end-of-day for most asset types and only for the US, India, Canada and Australia; the one live feed is a US stock screener on Platinum.

What the analysis is

This is the part that is hardest to compare from the outside, because both sell "insight". The difference is in kind. Edgewonk's tools are about your behaviour on your own trades, and all of them are in the one price: a trade-management optimiser that replays your fills under different stops and targets, a Tiltmeter scoring how often you broke your own rules, and Edge Finder, a weekly scan for which setup, session and hour actually pay. Its Backtester tab is a grid you fill in by hand, not a simulation. TradesViz's tools are mostly about slicing: 100-plus base charts on Pro and 150-plus on Platinum, by tag, symbol, time, hold time or any custom field, with an AI Coach and a plain-English query on Pro, and exit analysis and the replay simulators on Platinum only.

Edgewonk's "what if I had exited differently" is in the base price; on TradesViz the equivalent exit-analysis chart set is Platinum.

What the money buys

Prices are each card's, verified in mid-September 2026. TradesViz Pro is $19.99 a month or $179.88 a year; Platinum $29.99 or $269.88. Edgewonk is $197 a year, recurring rather than a licence — cancel and you lose access — with VAT added in the EU and UK, and no monthly option. On 14 September 2026 its checkout was selling the $197 as a 16-month term; the page's hero still quoted an older $169 that the buy button no longer charged. Read the checkout, not the banner.

Neither produces tax reports or tracks a portfolio, neither has a public API, and both export by hand: TradesViz as CSV, Edgewonk as Excel without screenshots or notes.

The recommendation

If you trade options as spreads, TradesViz — on Pro, since the free plan is stocks only. Edgewonk cannot review a spread as one position.

If you trade stocks in one account and want to pay nothing, TradesViz Basic, which takes 3,000 executions a month for free.

If you trade on MetaTrader, or across more than ten accounts — the prop-firm case — Edgewonk. It is the only one of the two that syncs MetaTrader on its own and the only one that holds an unlimited number of accounts for one price, with its behaviour tools — the Tiltmeter, Edge Finder, the exit optimiser — included rather than tiered.

Anyone else, uploading files from one broker either way, should take TradesViz Pro: it is cheaper month to month, has a trial and draws price charts. What it gives up is Edgewonk's behaviour tools at the base price — the Tiltmeter, Edge Finder and the exit optimiser.
