1. Pricing & Commitment
This is the biggest differentiator. Edgewonk operates on a Yearly-Only model. You must pay roughly $169 upfront to use the software. There is no free tier to test the waters indefinitely.
Winner: ProfitPulse
ProfitPulse offers a generous Free plan and monthly billing. We believe you should only pay for a tool if it's actively making you money this month.
2. Trading Psychology Features
Edgewonk is famous for its "Tilt Meter" and psychological questionnaires. It asks you to rate your emotions before and after every trade. For traders who have serious discipline issues, this "forced reflection" can be valuable.
ProfitPulse takes a "passive" approach. We believe active scalpers don't have time to fill out a questionnaire 20 times a day. We track your psychology through your data (e.g., measuring your performance after a loss vs. after a win).
Winner: Edgewonk
If you want deep, manual psychological profiling and have the time to input data, Edgewonk's toolkit is extensive.
3. The Futures Workflow (Automation)
ProfitPulse was built by futures traders. We know that importing data from Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or Topstep needs to be instant. Our algorithms automatically handle contract rollovers and tick values.
Edgewonk supports many platforms, but often requires more manual CSV formatting, especially for derivatives.
Winner: ProfitPulse
For frictionless syncing and modern UI speed, ProfitPulse is the superior choice for 2025.
