Built around your prop account.
Four things matter most when you trade a challenge or a funded account. Edgewise Metrics gives each one its own screen, then backs them up with a full trading journal.
Pass the challenge.
Keep the account.
Edgewise Metrics checks every trade you journal against your firm's rules: daily loss, max drawdown, profit target and trading days. You see a breach coming before it happens.
Your firmhas rules.Edgewise Metricsremembersevery one.
Set up your firm's rulebook once. Every trade you journal is checked against it, and every rule change is dated, so old trades are judged by the rules they were taken under.
One trading day, start to finish.
Know your room
Today's loss limit, drawdown left and the news that matters, already in South African time.
Get warned early
Journal a trade and the rules update straight away. A warning shows before you get close to a limit.
Lock it in
The session moves into your stats and your phase progress. Tomorrow starts with a clean, honest number.
Get funded.
Stay funded.
The journal built around your prop account: your trailing drawdown, your payouts and your profit split in one view.
Trailing drawdown, drawn for you
See exactly where your floor sits after every trade, and when it locks.
Payouts and splits tracked
Every payout, your share and the rand value on the day it landed.
Every phase on one timeline
Challenge, verification and funded, with the rules that applied at each step.
Am I clear
to trade?
Edgewise Metrics answers in one glance. It checks your prop firm's limits, today's news and your own plan, so one bad click never costs you the account.
Size every trade
to your rules.
Pick your account, your risk and your stop. Edgewise Metrics works out the lot size, then checks it against your firm's limits before you place the trade.
- Warns you if a stop-out would break today's daily loss limit or your drawdown floor
- Flags a lot size above your firm's per-trade limit
- Forex majors and crosses, USDZAR, gold, silver, indices and bitcoin
- Risk shown in your account currency and in rand, with a ladder from 0.25% to 2%
Demo uses standard contract sizes, example prices and an example rate of R18 to the dollar. The app uses your own exchange rates and lets you match your broker's contract sizes. A sizing aid, not financial advice.
A full trading journal behind it.
The prop-firm screens sit on top of a complete journal. Here is everything else Edgewise Metrics does.
Daily journal and Finish day
Plan before the session, log each trade with notes, then press Finish day to move the session into your stats.
Screenshots with notes
Paste or drop chart screenshots onto a trade or a day and write what you saw. They stay with the trade.
Tags and keyword filters
Tag setups, sessions and mistakes, search your notes, and pick any date range, including custom dates.
Imports
Bring trades in from your platform's CSV export, or pull in the journal you already keep in Notion.
Analytics
Win rate, profit factor, expectancy and R-multiples, split by symbol, session, setup, weekday and hour.
Insights and discipline score
Patterns flagged for you: trades outside your hours, trades after a loss, days over your planned trade count.
P&L calendar
Every trading day coloured by its result, so good and bad weeks stand out at a glance.
Rand, dollars or R
Show results in rand, US dollars or R-multiples. Each trade converts at the exchange rate of the day it closed.
News tracker
High-impact releases that move forex and indices, shown in your own time zone.
Sessions and world clock
Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York sessions in your time, plus a converter for any city.
AI coach and Academy
Ask questions about your own trading history, and look up any trading term in plain language. It never gives signals.
Reports and tax year
Export your trades and a summary for the South African tax year, which starts on 1 March.
Custom dashboard
Choose the widgets you want and drag them into the order that suits your routine.
Colour themes
Twelve colour schemes, from the original green and grey to white and green, in light or dark.
Your time zone and hours
Set where you trade from and your trading hours. Every time in Edgewise Metrics follows them.

Comparison based on a South African trading journal's publicly listed plans, checked October 2026; their plans may change. The best-known international journals bill in US dollars, with entry plans from around $29 a month. Edgewise Metrics is billed in rand, so the price you see is the price you pay. Prices shown are a draft and may change before launch.
What is Edgewise Metrics?
Edgewise Metrics is a trading journal built around prop-firm accounts. It tracks your firm's rules on every trade you journal, shows how close you are to your limits and targets, and keeps your trades, screenshots, notes and numbers in one place. It is made in South Africa and priced for South African traders.
Does it work with my prop firm?
Yes. You set up your firm's rules once: profit target, daily loss, max drawdown (static or trailing), minimum trading days, consistency, lot size, and the overnight, weekend, news and EA rules. You can add a link to the firm's official rules page. Edgewise Metrics doesn't connect to your firm, so it works with any firm whose rules you can enter.
Are the rule checks exactly the same as my firm's?
They're a close guide, not your firm's official record. Edgewise Metrics checks closed trades. Your firm may also measure floating equity, use a different end-of-day time, or read a rule differently. Always confirm with your firm before you rely on a number.
How do my trades get into Edgewise Metrics?
You can log trades by hand on every plan. On Basic and Pro you can import the CSV export from your trading platform, and on Pro you can bring in a journal you already keep in Notion. More import options are on the way.
Does Edgewise Metrics place trades or give signals?
No. Edgewise Metrics never places, changes or closes a trade, and it never tells you what to buy or sell. The AI coach only answers questions about your own trading history.
Do you need my broker password?
No. Edgewise Metrics never asks for your broker or prop-firm password. You can export or back up all your data at any time.
Why is it priced in rand?
Because it's built for South African traders. You pay in rand, so the price doesn't change when the exchange rate does. Inside the app you can still see your results in rand, US dollars or R-multiples.
What do I get on the free plan?
Unlimited trades, one prop account with profit target, daily loss and max drawdown checks, the daily journal with Finish day, screenshots, the dashboard and P&L calendar, the news calendar and sessions, and full export. Upgrade to Basic for more accounts, every firm rule, full analytics and insights.
Does Edgewise Metrics help with tax?
On Pro, Edgewise Metrics groups your realised results by South African tax year, which runs from 1 March to the end of February, and exports them for you or your accountant. It is a record-keeping aid, not tax advice.
Is there a position size calculator?
Yes, on every plan. Choose your account, risk and stop, and Edgewise Metrics works out the lot size. On Basic and Pro it also warns you if the trade could break your firm's daily loss, drawdown or lot-size limits.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Edgewise Metrics runs in your web browser, so it works on a computer, tablet or phone.
When does Edgewise Metrics launch?
Soon. Follow us on Instagram or use the contact details below to hear the moment it goes live.
Built by a prop trader in South Africa.
I've always had a passion for economics. It's what I studied, across more than one degree, and it's where my fascination with financial markets began: why prices move, what moves them, and how traders make sense of it all.
That passion led me to trading a prop account from South Africa, and I know first-hand how daunting this space can be. Every firm has its own rules, the drawdown limits never forgive a mistake, the news times have to be converted from New York, and your journal ends up scattered across spreadsheets, screenshot folders and PDFs.
That's why I built Edgewise Metrics: one place where everything you need lives. Your journal, your firm's rules, your numbers and your progress to the payout, on your clock and priced for South Africans.
Made in South Africa
Designed around South African traders: your time zone, your tax year starting 1 March, and results in rand.
Priced in rand
Plans are billed in rand, so the price doesn't move when the exchange rate does.
A journal, not a signal service
Edgewise Metrics never places or changes a trade, never asks for your broker password, and never tells you what to buy or sell.
