COMPARISON · PERPLEDGER vs EDGEWONK
The journal Edgewonk traders switch to.
Edgewonk is a great manual journal — a decade of depth for stocks and forex traders who log by hand. But if you trade perps on-chain, PerpLedger does everything it does, then keeps going: it reads your fills automatically, ranks your losses in dollars, and puts an AI coach on top.

Where PerpLedger pulls ahead
It reads your actual ledger
No CSV exports, no copy-paste. Connect a wallet and every perp fill is grouped into position cycles automatically — with MAE/MFE pulled from the candles.
A coach, not just a report
Edgewonk hands you a static Edge Finder list. PerpLedger's coach takes the same deterministic, dollar-ranked leaks and reasons over them — citing your specific trades, connecting them to your notes, and answering follow-ups with memory.
Your losses, quantified
The Edge-Leak Finder ranks exactly where your money goes — worst instrument, session, setup, the cost of tagged mistakes, and the dollars left on the table by cutting winners early.
Built for how crypto trades
24/7 markets, funding, high leverage, on-chain venues. A journal built around a stocks schema bolts these on. PerpLedger treats them as first-class.
IN FAIRNESS TO EDGEWONK
Edgewonk earned its reputation. It’s a mature, thoughtfully built journal with a one-time price instead of a subscription, and if you trade stocks, forex, or futures and log by hand, it’s an excellent tool. PerpLedger isn’t trying to be a better manual journal — it’s built for the trader whose fills live on-chain and who wants the analysis to come to them.
