Edgewonk is one of the most rigorous process-focused trading journals available. It helps you track whether you followed your rules. TradeMind answers the question Edgewonk never asks: should you be following your rules today, or sitting out entirely?
Edgewonk's strength is process adherence. The Tilt Meter, custom trade categorization, and simulator help traders understand whether they're executing their strategy correctly. For traders who want deep statistical analysis of their process, it's one of the most serious tools available.
If you're using Edgewonk, you're already a more disciplined trader than most. But here's the gap: Edgewonk's Tilt Meter is a trailing indicator — it reflects tilt you're already experiencing based on recent trade history. TradeMind catches the tilt before the first trade of the day.
Edgewonk asks: given that you traded, did you trade correctly? It tracks rule compliance, tags setups, scores your process quality, and helps you improve your execution over time.
It's a powerful retrospective feedback loop. But it assumes you should have been trading in the first place.
TradeMind asks: given your current mental state — sleep, stress, focus, emotional stability — is today a day to trade at full size, reduced size, or not at all?
The best process in the world underperforms when the person executing it isn't mentally equipped to execute it. That's what TradeMind measures.
