Edgewonk Alternatives: How Journals Import Trades
Edgewonk's pages say imports are automated and name no method. How each journal words it, which platforms it names, and what to check before you rely on one.

On this page
Edgewonk says trades are imported automatically and that over 200 brokers are supported, and it does not say whether that means a live connection or a file you upload. That is the gap this page is about. It sets each journal's own wording about getting trades in side by side, with the platforms each names, so a reader on MT4, MT5 or cTrader can see which answer the question and which send you elsewhere.
Edgewonk
- Getting trades in. “Automated Trade Imports”, with no broker named. “Import your trades automatically” and “Over 200 brokers are supported in Edgewonk”. File upload and manual entry are not mentioned.

- Price. One plan, with the same features on either billing period: $35 a month or $197 every 12 months, with VAT calculated at checkout. No free trial mentioned. “14-day, 100% money-back guarantee”.
- Accounts. “Unlimited” journals, broker accounts, prop firm accounts, trades, imports and strategies; 6 screenshots per trade and 20 custom tag categories.
- Edgewonk also lists a price of $169 for all countries except the EU and UK.
- Not stated. Whether the import is a live sync, a scheduled pull or an uploaded file, and which brokers sit behind the “200”.
Three ways a journal can get trades in
- A live connection. The journal reads your account through an API or read-only login and fills trades as they close. Convenient, and it depends on the vendor supporting your broker and platform.
- A file import. You export a statement or a .csv file from the platform and upload it. Works for almost any broker, and it is yours to repeat.
- Manual entry. You type each trade. Always possible in principle; the cost is your time.
Vendors often say “auto” or “automated” for the first and leave the other two unmentioned, or the reverse. The table keeps each vendor's own words so the difference is visible.
How each vendor words it
| Vendor | How trades get in | Platforms named |
|---|---|---|
| TradesViz | “70+ auto-sync connections” and “250+ brokers and platforms”, not tied to a plan. The plan table has an “Auto-sync trades” row. Pro and Platinum: unlimited imports. | Not listed. |
| Tradervue | “Broker Sync” on both paid plans, and “Trade import from brokers” in the comparison table. | “80+ Trading Platform Integrations”. MT4, MT5 and cTrader are not mentioned. |
| TradeZella | “We support 500+ broker and prop firm integrations that sync your trades automatically.” Trades can also come in by “file upload, or even manual trade adds”. | “500+ brokers connected”. MT4 and MT5 appear only as text on logo images; cTrader is not mentioned. |
| Edgewonk | “Automated Trade Imports”, with no broker named. “Import your trades automatically” and “Over 200 brokers are supported in Edgewonk”. File upload and manual entry are not mentioned. | Logos include MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader, NinjaTrader, Interactive Brokers and Tradovate. |
| TraderWaves | “Auto import (API)” and “CSV import” on all tiers; connections use “read-only or investor-style access where supported”. No broker or platform is named. | Not listed. |
| Consistry | Free: statement import for MT4 and MT5, and any CSV. Premium: auto-sync, MT4 “from the first payment”, MT5 (“unlimited MetaTrader 5 accounts”), cTrader and some other platforms. | MT4 and MT5 statement import on Free; MT4, MT5 and cTrader auto-sync on Premium. |
| TradeTanto | Every plan includes “Automatic Trade Sync”; no platform is named in the pricing content. | Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Interactive Brokers among others. MT4 is not in the list. |
| Tradesyncer | “Trades auto-sync from Tradovate, Rithmic, and ProjectX”; for other platforms, “Import your trades with a CSV upload instead”. | Futures platforms are named. MT4, MT5 and cTrader are not. |
Quotation marks are the vendor's own words. A platform that is not named may still be supported; check the vendor's list.
Before you rely on any of them
- Find the vendor's supported-platform list, which most pricing pages link to rather than print, and look for your broker by name.
- Check which plan the connection belongs to. Some vendors offer file import free and auto-sync paid; others list both on every plan.
- Check what access the connection needs. One vendor says its connections use “read-only or investor-style access where supported”.
- Import a small file or a few days of history first, and compare the trade count and the profit against your platform's own statement.
- Check what happens to partial closes. Whether they arrive as one trade or several is a property of the importer and the platform, not of the pricing page.
What a trade is differs between MetaTrader 4 and 5, which is why step 5 matters; the difference is set out on the MT4 and MT5 journal fields page. Prices are on the pricing page, and the full matrix is trading journals compared.
Where Trepeat is
Trepeat is not in the table: there is nothing yet to put in an import comparison.
We're working on a free journal and a backtester, with no date yet. Today Trepeat is a trade copier for MT4, MT5 and cTrader, currently on demo accounts, and you can add notes, a grade and screenshots to any copied trade once it closes, with a calendar of your results.
Its journal holds the notes, grade and screenshots you add to each closed trade.
