Edgewonk vs Trademetria

These two journals ask for opposite commitments. Edgewonk has no free tier and no trial, so you pay first and rely on a 14-day money-back guarantee, but nothing inside the product is metered. Trademetria lets you start at zero and caps what you can import, so the bill grows with your order count and your number of accounts. Edgewonk is run from Offenbach in Germany, while Trademetria Inc. calls itself a USA corporation, and both quote prices in dollars. For a trader who logs many orders every week, that structural difference matters more than the monthly figure.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Where they differ

Edgewonk 4 · Trademetria 1 · open 1
  1. 01

    Paying before you have looked

    Edgewonk offers no free tier and no trial period. Its page offers a 14-day, 100% money-back guarantee instead, so the card is charged on day one and the test happens afterwards. Trademetria opens with a free tier that carries no stated expiry and wants no card details, and its FAQ adds an allowance of up to 200 page views. For anyone cautious about spending first, Trademetria is the easier door. Trademetria prepaid plans can be cancelled at any time.

    Edgewonk's one-product ladder

    Edgewonk sells a single product in two lengths. The annual plan is $197 billed every 12 months, labelled save 53%, and the monthly plan is $35 billed every month. The page says the only difference is the length and price of the subscription, and both plans give access to every feature. There is no tier to outgrow, which keeps budgeting simple for a trader whose volume keeps rising, and nothing in the page suggests a cap appears later on. German VAT lifts the annual figure to $234.43.

    Where Trademetria's import cap bites

    Trademetria's Free plan allows 30 order imports a month, one account and 3 open positions. Basic costs $19.95 a month, or $14.10 a month billed yearly at $169.00, and allows 500 imports and 200 open positions. Pro costs $29.95 a month, or $20.80 a month billed yearly at $249.00, with unlimited imports and up to 50 accounts. Edgewonk never asks you to climb, while Trademetria will if you trade often or hold several accounts, and the yearly rates only soften that.

    Counting limits on accounts and trades

    Both Edgewonk plans list unlimited journals, broker accounts, prop firm accounts, imported trades and strategies. The checkout section adds 20 custom tag categories and 6 screenshots per trade. Trademetria's page lists one account on Free and Basic, and up to 50 on Pro, with unlimited orders and open positions only there. A trader running several prop firm accounts reaches Trademetria's ceiling long before Edgewonk has one. The cap also covers open positions, which stay unlimited only on Pro.

    Broker coverage and what you can journal

    Edgewonk says it supports over 200 brokers and names MetaTrader 4 and 5, NinjaTrader, Interactive Brokers, cTrader and TradeStation. It adds mistake tracking, trade checklists, a diary, 50+ data reports and a strategy lab. Trademetria says 140+ brokers, offers auto-sync on all plans, an AI Trading Assistant, multi-portfolio tracking and trading challenges that track rules. Edgewonk reads as the wider import list, while Trademetria is the one that ships an assistant and rule-tracking challenges.

    Depends on the buyer

  6. 06

    Currency, VAT and the company behind each

    Edgewonk's prices are quoted in USD with VAT added at checkout, so an EU buyer pays more, for example $234.43 in Germany. The operator is Quantum Trade Solutions GmbH in Offenbach and German law governs the terms. Trademetria prints only a dollar symbol, never a currency code and calls itself Trademetria Inc., a USA corporation. Its terms page returned an error when we read it, so we did not see a registered address. Neither page names a parent company.

When neither fits

If you want a journal that is neither prepaid nor capped by import counts, look at other names in this category. TradesViz and TradeZella are two more of the journals we list, and the pages we read for this pair do not compare them.

Edgewonk or Trademetria: questions

3 answers
Can I try Edgewonk without paying first?

Not for free, according to the vendor's pricing page. It has no free tier and no trial, and it offers a 14-day, 100% money-back guarantee. You pay at the start and ask for the refund inside that window if it does not fit.

At what point does Trademetria's free plan stop being enough?

The Free plan stops at 30 order imports a month, one account and 3 open positions. An active trader can pass that within days. Basic raises imports to 500, and Pro removes the import cap.

Does the displayed Edgewonk price include tax?

The page shows prices with VAT by country, so the figure depends on where you buy. It lists the Annual plan from $230.49 in Luxembourg to $250.19 in Hungary. The base price before tax is $197 a year or $35 a month.
