Honest assessment

Where Edgewonk is better.

We're going to tell you when Edgewonk is the right choice. That's more useful than a biased comparison.

Tiltmeter & Emotional Tracking

Edgewonk's tiltmeter is genuinely unique — it tracks your emotional state over time and correlates it with your P&L. If you believe your emotional discipline is the primary thing holding back your trading, this structured tracking is hard to replicate.

GDPR & EU Data Privacy

Edgewonk is an EU-based company subject to GDPR. If data residency is a concern for you — especially if you're based in Europe — Edgewonk has a structural advantage here that MICROEDGE currently doesn't match.

Trade Simulator

Edgewonk includes a built-in trade simulator for testing strategy variations against historical data. MICROEDGE doesn't have this — we focus on pre-trade calculation rather than backtesting.

One-Time Annual Price

$169/year is steep, but it's a known, fixed cost. If you prefer not paying monthly for software, Edgewonk's annual model is more predictable than a recurring subscription — even if MICROEDGE is less expensive overall.

Choose MICROEDGE if...

You trade CME futures
and want real numbers.

  • You need a commission-adjusted calculator before you place an order
  • You trade on Apex, Topstep, Rithmic, or any prop firm account
  • You want AI coaching on your session notes without paying monthly
  • You want to try a tool before committing — free tier, no card required
  • You check the Market Brief before your session starts
  • You don't have a broker connection set up and want a standalone tool
Choose Edgewonk if...

Psychology journaling
is your primary need.

  • You want structured emotional state tracking with the tiltmeter
  • Trade replay and backtesting are central to how you review sessions
  • You're based in the EU and GDPR compliance matters to you
  • You prefer a fixed annual price over a monthly subscription
  • The calculator isn't important to your workflow
Common questions

FAQ

Can I use MICROEDGE and Edgewonk together? ↓
Yes — and some traders do. MICROEDGE's calculator and order strategy for pre-trade, Edgewonk's tiltmeter for post-session psychology journaling. The tools don't overlap enough to cause conflict. That said, most traders find one platform sufficient once they're into a routine.
Does Edgewonk have a calculator? ↓
No. Edgewonk is focused on journaling and behavioral analysis — it doesn't have a commission-adjusted P&L calculator or CME instrument library. If knowing your true RRR after commission is important to your process, Edgewonk doesn't serve that need.
Is Edgewonk worth $169 per year? ↓
It depends on how central psychological journaling is to your trading. If you're a discretionary trader who believes behavioral patterns are your biggest edge leak, Edgewonk's tiltmeter and structured analysis can justify the price. If you're a systems-based trader who wants to know your numbers, MICROEDGE serves you better at no cost.
Does MICROEDGE have a tiltmeter like Edgewonk? ↓
Not in the same structured way. MICROEDGE's AI coaching reads your session notes and identifies behavioral patterns — including emotional ones — in the feedback. It's more conversational and less structured than Edgewonk's explicit tiltmeter. If you want a formal emotional state score on every trade, Edgewonk does this better.
What's MICROEDGE's refund policy? ↓
14-day free trial on EdgePro, then a 7-day money-back guarantee after your first charge. No questions, no contracts. Edgewonk does not have a publicly stated refund policy.
