Two ways to fix a trader
Edgewonk has a devoted following for one reason: it takes trading psychology seriously. Its Tiltmeter discipline score, detailed mistake tracking and trade-plan adherence tools are built to expose the emotional leaks that quietly drain an account. It is a one-price, one-plan product — you pay once a year and get everything, no tiers, no upsells. For a self-aware trader who wants to sit with their own behaviour, that focus is a genuine strength.
PnL Book shares the same belief — that most damage is behavioural, not strategic — but reaches it from a different angle. Instead of asking you to import and annotate everything by hand, its AI reads a broker or exchange screenshot straight into entries. Then it prices your behaviour: every tagged mistake is totalled in money per month, not just scored, and a weekly AI coach reads your week back to you in plain language.
Both are honest tools for traders who want to change, not just record. The table below is factual, dated, and taken from each product's own site as of July 2026.
Where Edgewonk is the stronger fit
If psychology is your battleground, Edgewonk goes deepest. The Tiltmeter turns discipline into a trackable score, mistake tracking is granular, and its strategy tester and performance simulator let you model changes to your rules before you risk them. Its pricing is refreshingly simple: one plan at $169/yr base, with VAT added by country, everything included, and a 14-day money-back guarantee if it isn't for you (as of July 2026). If you are happy importing trades yourself and want the richest self-reflection toolkit, Edgewonk is a fair, focused choice.
Where PnL Book pulls ahead
PnL Book's edge is friction and follow-through. Edgewonk lets you attach up to six screenshots to a trade, but you still enter the trade; PnL Book's AI reads the order-book screenshot itself into entries in seconds, so the logging step nearly disappears — the step most traders actually abandon. It also turns behaviour into money rather than a score: each tagged habit — revenge entries, oversizing, trading through news — is totalled in your account's currency per month, which tends to change behaviour faster than a discipline gauge. And a real AI coach summarises your week, going beyond Edgewonk's automated edge-finder scans. You can pay monthly ($19/mo) and cancel anytime, rather than committing to a year up front.
Imports and markets
Both cover a wide range of markets — Edgewonk lists forex, stocks, futures, crypto, options, indices and commodities, and PnL Book journals stocks, options, futures, forex and crypto (spot and perps). The difference is how trades get in. Edgewonk lists unlimited automated imports plus manual entry; PnL Book leans on AI screenshot reading alongside CSV and statement imports, which helps when your platform doesn't offer a clean export. If you value a hands-on journaling ritual, Edgewonk suits it; if you want the log to take seconds, PnL Book does.
The bottom line
Choose Edgewonk for the deepest psychology toolkit and a simple pay-once-a-year model. Choose PnL Book if you want AI screenshot import, your mistakes priced in money, a weekly AI coach and a monthly plan you can cancel anytime. Both take the inner game seriously; the dated table above and the FAQ below should make the fit clear. If you trade crypto specifically, see PnL Book vs CoinMarketMan.

Frequently asked questions

Does Edgewonk import trades automatically or read screenshots?
As of July 2026, Edgewonk lists unlimited automated trade imports and lets you attach up to 6 screenshots per trade, but does not list AI reading an order-book screenshot into entries. PnL Book's AI does exactly that, alongside CSV and statement imports.
Which is better for trading psychology?
Edgewonk leans hardest into psychology, with a Tiltmeter discipline score and detailed mistake and plan-adherence tracking. PnL Book tracks mistakes too, but frames them as money: each tagged habit is totalled in your account's currency per month, then summarised by a weekly AI coach.
Does either product give trade tips or signals?
No. PnL Book analyzes your own past trades — it does not provide investment advice, tips or trading signals, and nothing on this page is a recommendation to trade. The comparison covers journaling features and pricing only.
