Step 1 – Getting started

We will help you get started within just a few minutes and we show you what to do when you open your journal for the first time.

Update: Since February 2019, all graphs and visual analysis can be found in the Chart Lab main tab.

Step 2 – Adding your first trade

There are usually two reactions when traders open Edgewonk for the first time and face the empty trading journal: the first one is a feeling of intimidation when the trader sees all the different fields and functions. The second reaction describes excitement and inspiration. Granted, you may not know how to use Edgewonk or where to start yet, but you can feel that the empty journal in front of you offers great opportunities. We will help you turn those opportunities into measurable results.

Update: you can directly add URLs as your screenshots now. We show how to do it in a different video: click to watch
