What Tradervue does well
Tradervue's longevity is earned: it is reliable, its stock and futures import coverage is deep, and its public trade-sharing community is genuinely unique — if publishing annotated trades for feedback is part of your process, Tradervue has no direct substitute.
Why active forex and crypto traders outgrow it
The free plan's monthly trade cap is the crux. A scalper or an active crypto trader burns through it in days, and the analytics that make a journal worth keeping — the detailed reports — sit behind the paid tiers. You end up paying not for something new, but to remove limits on the thing you already do.
Edgelog inverts that: the full loop is free. Every MT4/MT5 position syncs automatically through the EdgelogSync EA (no manual imports after each session), Binance and Bybit history arrives over read-only API keys, and win rate, profit factor, equity curve, calendar, and per-setup breakdowns are not gated behind a plan.
What to compare in a Tradervue free alternative
A Tradervue free alternative should be judged on the workflow you will repeat, not on the longest feature list. Check how your platform data enters the journal, which analytics remain available without upgrading, and whether your active trade count fits the free allowance. Edgelog is strongest for MT4, MT5, and crypto traders who want automatic or read-only capture plus a private review process. Tradervue remains stronger when its broader stock and futures workflows or public sharing community are essential.
Moving your history over
Export your trades from Tradervue or your broker as CSV, import into Edgelog, and your history joins the same analytics as everything the EA syncs going forward. Ten minutes, once. Start journaling free — no credit card, no trial clock, up to 3 connected accounts and 50,000 stored trades.
