MyFXJournal vs Edgewonk

Do you want a manual process system or a weekly review loop?

Edgewonk is built around deep manual journaling, scoring, and process discipline. MyFXJournal is web-based and review-first: import or sync trade history, then use the weekly review to decide what to work on next.

What it removes

Where the workflows diverge

Manual discipline vs automatic review

Edgewonk rewards traders who maintain tags and scoring. MyFXJournal reduces setup so the first value is the review itself.

Desktop vs web

Edgewonk is desktop software. MyFXJournal runs in the browser and supports imports plus optional read-only MT5 sync when setup capacity is available.

Coaching style

Edgewonk helps you score against your own process. MyFXJournal highlights likely patterns from trade history and asks you to test one adjustment.

How it works

Both are useful. The question is what habit you want to build.

Import your trade history

MyFXJournal supports MT5 XLSX, Tradovate CSV, manual entry, and optional read-only MT5 sync during trial when capacity is available.

Review and reflect

Edgewonk shows your custom scoring dashboard. MyFXJournal shows a weekly review with one main insight, cited trades, and one suggested experiment.

Build the habit

Both products only help if you return. MyFXJournal keeps the repeat action simple: import or sync, review, pick one next rule.
