TSB vs Edgewonk: the short answer
TSB is the stronger fit for a trader who wants one portable evidence system. It recognizes 331 exact broker, exchange, platform, and prop-export profiles, then connects the Journal with Dashboards, Leak Map, an evidence-bound AI Coach, Retrospective Backtester, Prop Firm Challenge Tracker, exports, and optional Notion workflows.
Edgewonk is not a weak or obsolete alternative. The current product is an actively updated web journal—not the legacy downloadable app described in old comparisons. It is particularly strong when the trader is willing to build a deliberate taxonomy of setups, rules, mistakes, and psychology, then use Edge Finder, Tiltmeter, reports, simulator, and trade-management analysis to interrogate it.
The honest decision is not “AI versus statistics.” Both products surface patterns. The important differences are how evidence enters, how much structure the trader supplies, how conclusions can be checked, whether prop-program rules are part of the system, how complete the exit is, and whether the access model suits the intended holding period.
TSB vs Edgewonk: workflow comparison
| Decision point | TSB Full Access | Edgewonk online |
|---|---|---|
| Current price | $299 lifetime or $49/month | Not verified because public offer and term presentations conflict |
| Access model | Lifetime or monthly | Recurring term; one full-feature offer is described |
| Analysis model | Evidence-bound Coach, Leak Map, reports, and scoped Backtester | Structured analytics, Edge Finder, Tiltmeter, simulator, optimizer, reports |
| Trader-supplied context | Imported facts plus notes, tags, Setup versions, screenshots, and selected scope | Setups, checklists, tags, mistakes, discipline, mental journal, and screenshots |
| Import routes | 331 exact profiles; route varies by source | MT4/MT5 auto-import, many named files, and generic Excel fallback |
| Prop-firm workflow | Challenge Tracker and exact reviewed program-rule context | Prop-account import supported; exact program-rule engine Not verified |
| Platform | Web | Responsive web; downloadable desktop product is legacy |
| Export / exit | Authenticated CSV and JSON journal exports | Current full self-service export scope Not verified |
These are not feature-score points. Edgewonk can be the better system for a trader who consistently records the fields its analysis uses. TSB can be the better system when source normalization, inspectable AI evidence, prop constraints, and portability are the higher-value jobs.
Edgewonk pricing vs TSB pricing
The previous guide froze two live prices into its H1, metadata, body, and multi-year projections. That made the page look precise while the offers changed underneath it. Current TSB amounts now render from canonical product truth. Edgewonk’s exact current amount renders as Not verified until its public offer and billing-term presentations agree.
Edgewonk’s official pricing page currently promotes one full-feature subscription with unlimited journals, broker accounts, prop accounts, trades, and strategies. The same page combines a limited-time term, renewal language, regional VAT examples, and differing visible price treatments. Do not select whichever figure is most convenient; confirm the checkout total, included term, renewal term, currency, and VAT for your region.
TSB publishes monthly and lifetime access. That does not make every buyer an automatic TSB win. Compare the real checkout for the route you would buy, the quality of your exact importer, the review workflow you will sustain, and the completeness of your exit. A lower long-run cost cannot rescue a journal you do not use; a strong workflow should not require stale price arithmetic to prove its value.
Trial versus refund: the current Edgewonk pricing page emphasizes a fourteen-day money-back guarantee after purchase. Its terms allow a limited trial when offered on the package list, but a generally available current free trial is Not verified. Treat a refund window and a free trial as different commitments.
Edgewonk’s AI-driven innovation: what Edge Finder actually does
Edgewonk calls Edge Finder “AI Augmented Trade Analysis” and describes an automated algorithm that scans the journal every Sunday. Its current Edge Finder page says the scan analyzes hundreds of journal data points and returns focused views of win rate, time-of-day performance, rule leaks, costly comments, system edge, return-to-drawdown, discipline, and reward-to-risk behavior.
That is a meaningful product, not “fake AI” because it is not a chatbot. Its advantage is direction without requiring the user to invent the first question. Its limitation is the same one every journal analysis has: conclusions are only as meaningful as the imported records, definitions, tags, checklists, and comparison window. A selected historical pattern does not prove causality or future performance.
TSB Coach solves a related job differently. The server selects and signs an evidence set; the model explains those supplied facts, supporting trades, contrary cases, and limitations. It does not silently recalculate the figures or invent missing psychology, causal stories, or forecasts. A refusal when evidence is insufficient protects the analysis. TSB also lets the reader move from a Coach observation into the Journal, Leak Map, or a scoped Backtester hypothesis.
Tiltmeter, psychology, and rule discipline
Edgewonk’s psychology workflow is one of its clearest reasons to buy. The current feature set combines a mental journal, user-defined comments and tags, setup checklists, mistake tracking, discipline review, screenshots, session report cards, and Tiltmeter. The trader explicitly records context and can compare performance with rule adherence or emotional states. That structure is valuable when logging is consistent and definitions do not drift.
TSB should not pretend to know how a trader felt from price and P&L alone. Its Coach can analyze recorded behavior and attached evidence, but unknown psychology stays unknown. The practical advantage is traceability: ask what evidence supports an observation, open the exact trades, inspect exceptions, and turn a bounded finding into a review action. Our revenge-trading reset guide shows how to convert a suspected pattern into observable controls rather than a personality label.
Choose Edgewonk when deliberate self-tagging is the intervention you want. Choose TSB when the primary need is a connected evidence review across imported trades, exact Setup versions, account context, and prop constraints. Neither tool can manufacture an honest psychology record after the fact.
Performance Simulator vs Retrospective Backtester
Edgewonk publishes a Performance Simulator, Alternative Strategy Testing, Trade Management Optimizer, Best Exit Analysis, and MFE/MAE reports. Together they support structured “what changed in my recorded history?” investigation. The exact calculation contract should be checked inside the product before treating any hypothetical curve as a live counterfactual.
TSB’s Retrospective Backtester freezes one account, date range, evidence cutoff, and declared Setup version or context slice. It compares matching trades with the rest, reports sample and coverage, expectancy, profit factor, drawdown, period context, and supporting records where available, and never edits the Journal. It tests hypotheses over canonical Journal evidence; it is not tick-by-tick market replay. The backtesting workflow guide explains how to separate exploration from later untouched confirmation.
Edgewonk is compelling when its optimizer and simulator match the trader’s established review language. TSB is compelling when the decision needs typed evidence states, Setup-version scope, supporting-trade drill-down, and a Coach explanation that stays inside the same frozen evidence set.
Imports: test exact routes, not marketing counts
Edgewonk’s current import directory says it supports hundreds of brokers and names many fast-import routes across forex, stocks, futures, crypto, options, indices, and commodities. It documents MT4/MT5 automatic import and a generic Excel path when a platform is not listed. Recent changelog entries show active importer and timestamp work.
TSB recognizes 331 exact formats across manual entry, CSV, TSV, JSON, HTML, MT4/MT5 reports or EA sync, supported broker/activity routes, TradingView capture, and migrations including Edgewonk. TSB has normalized 600K+ imported trades. That number means imported trades—not users, Coach samples, completeness, or outcomes.
Run one ugly sample through both: partial exits, fees, multiple currencies, daylight-saving boundaries, option legs, rejected executions, and corrected records. Reconcile counts, timestamps, quantity, side, gross result, fees, and net result. The Edgewonk alternatives guide covers the broader migration decision.
Prop firms, Notion, and the workflow outside analytics
Edgewonk supports prop-firm accounts and lists many firm/platform import routes. Its current offer includes unlimited prop accounts. What the reviewed catalog does not verify is an exact program-rule engine that normalizes a firm, program, region, account size, and challenge phase. Traders still need the firm’s current official terms.
TSB’s Prop Firm Challenge Tracker is designed around that specific review: selected account evidence, exact reviewed program context, and rule pressure in the same system. Daily loss and maximum drawdown remain different constraints; our prop drawdown guide explains what must be checked before trusting any dashboard.
TSB also offers an optional Premium Notion workspace. That is useful if Notion already carries the plan or review ritual, but it is not required and should not replace the canonical Journal. The Notion journal guide shows the boundary.
A seven-step decision test
- Define the job. Is the decision about psychology logging, weekly direction, trade management, imported evidence, prop rules, backtesting, or workspace ownership?
- Name the exact route. Record broker, platform, account type, region, market, file or sync path, and historical window.
- Freeze one difficult sample. Include records that expose timezone, fee, quantity, and multi-execution errors.
- Reconcile before analyzing. A beautiful report over mis-normalized evidence is not an insight.
- Run the real weekly ritual. In Edgewonk, test the tags, checklists, Edge Finder, Tiltmeter, and optimizer you will maintain. In TSB, test Journal drill-down, Coach evidence, Backtester, Leak Map, or prop review.
- Test the exit. Export a useful sample and list any notes, tags, screenshots, rules, or attachments requiring separate preservation.
- Verify checkout last. Confirm current amount, term, renewal, tax, refund, and access; never reuse this article’s retired price claims.

Final verdict: TSB for connected evidence; Edgewonk for structured self-analysis
TSB is the stronger default for readers who want their complete post-trade workflow in one inspectable system. The combination of 331 exact recognized profiles, evidence-bound Coach, scoped Backtester, Leak Map, prop-program context, exports, optional Notion, and a lifetime route gives it a clear position beyond “another analytics dashboard.”
Edgewonk can be the better choice for a highly structured self-reviewer. Its mature psychology and discipline workflow, custom tags and checklists, automatic Edge Finder, Tiltmeter, simulator, optimizer, reports, and actively maintained import surface are substantive advantages. Do not discount them because the product uses an automated analytical system rather than TSB’s conversational evidence workflow.
The decision rule: choose Edgewonk when you will faithfully build and maintain the structured journal its analysis rewards. Choose TSB when you want a portable evidence system that connects normalized imports, exact records, AI explanation, retrospective hypotheses, prop rules, and a durable access choice.
