Comparison
Consistry vs Edgewonk: a coach, not a spreadsheet on steroids
Edgewonk is a beloved, analytically deep journal for traders who love the manual process — custom variables, tag correlations, a trade simulator, and the Tiltmeter for psychology. If you want to hand-craft your self-analysis, it's one of the best at it.
But it's a desktop app with no live broker sync, no AI, no mobile, no cloud — and nothing for the prop-firm world. Consistry automates the boring part (syncing trades), watches your firm's rules for you, and coaches with AI across every challenge.
TL;DR: Pick Edgewonk for hands-on, deep manual journaling on your own machine. Pick Consistry if you want auto-sync, prop-firm rule tracking, an AI coach, and a phone in your pocket.

New · Prop firm backtesting
Backtest under your prop firm's rules.
Replay real market history candle by candle and trade it like your challenge. Run the session under your own account's rules or any firm and program from our catalog: daily loss, max drawdown and the profit target are checked on every bar, and a breach ends the session the way it would end the real account.
- Two years of 1-minute history: futures (NQ, ES, YM, RTY, GC, SI, CL, NG, 6E and their micros), FX majors, gold and index CFDs.
- Market, limit and stop orders with stop loss, take profit, spread and commission, so the result is not a clean +1R.
- Up to four synced chart windows from 1 minute to monthly, drawing tools and SMC indicators: FVG, order blocks, BOS / CHoCH, sessions, fractals.
- Blind mode: a random start with the date hidden, so you trade the chart, not your memory of it.
Where Edgewonk is genuinely better
Edgewonk is a craftsman's tool. For traders who want to go deep by hand, it shines.
Manual analytical depth.
Custom variables and tags, tag correlations, R-multiple/expectancy, 50+ customizable reports. Among the deepest hand-built analysis in the category.
The trade simulator.
What-if testing of exits, sizing and scenarios on your own history — rare and genuinely useful.
Tiltmeter & psychology.
A mature behavioral system that correlates your logged emotional state with outcomes — structured discipline for those who'll be honest with it.
Local data ownership.
A desktop app with local data appeals to privacy-minded traders who don't want their journal in the cloud.
Where Consistry wins for prop traders
02
It speaks prop firm
Daily-loss, max and trailing drawdown, profit targets, challenge phases, fees and payouts — tracked per account. Edgewonk has nothing for prop rules.
03
AI that coaches
Cited-to-your-trades insights, a morning plan, a weekly pattern report, and a pre-trade GREEN/YELLOW/RED check. Edgewonk's analysis is powerful but entirely manual.
04
One trader, every firm
All your prop firms and your personal account as a single profile — patterns that single-account journals can't see.
05
Cloud + mobile + voice
Log and review from web or phone, anywhere, and talk through trades with a voice coach. Edgewonk is a single-machine desktop app.
Who should pick which
Pick Edgewonk if: you love deep manual journaling, want a trade simulator and custom-variable analysis on your own machine, and don't need auto-sync, prop tools, AI or mobile.
Pick Consistry if: you grind prop challenges, want trades to sync automatically, your firm's rules watched for you, and an AI coach on web and phone — starting free.
FAQ
For prop-firm traders who want automation and AI — yes. If you specifically want hands-on manual journaling with a simulator and local data, Edgewonk is excellent at that. Consistry is built for prop traders who'd rather the journal do the work.
Not via a live connection — Edgewonk is import/manual (CSV and MetaTrader statements), and reviewers describe its integrations as finicky. Consistry auto-syncs MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, TopstepX, Match-Trader, DXtrade, TradeLocker, Tradovate and NinjaTrader, and imports any CSV.
No — it predates prop firms and has no challenge, drawdown or payout tracking. That's the core of Consistry.
No longer — its pricing is now an annual subscription (~$197/yr). Consistry has a free plan and Premium from $29.99/mo with a 7-day trial.
Yes. Consistry's backtesting replays real market history bar by bar (two years of 1-minute data for major futures, FX pairs, gold and index CFDs) and runs the session under the rules of your own account or any firm and program in its catalog. Daily loss, max drawdown and the profit target are checked on every bar, a breach ends the session, and orders carry spread and commission. It runs on the web and is part of the Premium plan, with a 7-day free trial.
