Vigil vs Trademetria

Trademetria is a multi-asset trade journal with basic analytics, no ai audit. It does what it does well. But prop firm traders face a specific challenge that general trade journals were not designed for: rule compliance. Your funded account does not care about your win rate chart or your tagged journal entries. It cares whether you breached the 5% daily loss limit. It cares whether your trailing drawdown hit the floor. It cares whether your consistency score dropped below the threshold.

Trademetria is a solid general-purpose trade journal. The interface is clean, multi-asset support is genuine, and the basic analytics cover the fundamentals. The problem for prop firm traders is that general-purpose journaling does not address the specific compliance challenge. You can journal every trade perfectly in Trademetria and still fail your evaluation because you did not realize your firm uses trailing intraday drawdown, or that your morning losses plus afternoon losses exceeded the daily limit, or that you held through a news blackout window. Trademetria tracks your trades. Vigil checks them against the rules that determine whether you keep your funded account.

• --Trademetria journals your trades. Vigil audits them against your prop firm rules. Journaling records what happened. Auditing tells you what you did wrong and how to fix it.
• --Trademetria has no prop firm rule database. Vigil pre-loads 20+ firm rulesets covering drawdown types, daily loss limits, holding restrictions, news trading rules, and consistency requirements.
• --Trademetria provides basic performance statistics. Vigil uses multi-agent AI to detect behavioral patterns: revenge trading sequences, tilt episodes, overtrading sessions, and position sizing escalation.
• --Trademetria has no trailing drawdown simulation. Vigil replays your trades against your firm's specific drawdown rules and shows exactly when and where you would breach.

Vigil is not the right tool for every trader. Here is when Trademetria is the better choice:

• +Trademetria covers stocks, options, futures, forex, and crypto in a single journal. It is a good all-purpose journal if you trade multiple asset classes across personal and funded accounts.
• +Trademetria has a clean, simple interface that is easy to use for daily journaling. If you want a basic journal without AI complexity, Trademetria is straightforward.

If you trade a personal account and do not need prop firm compliance checking, Trademetria may serve you well. But if you are spending $200-500 per challenge attempt and keep failing due to rule violations, Vigil pays for itself by helping you pass on the next try.

Trademetria and Vigil solve different problems. Trademetria focuses on multi-asset trade journaling with basic performance analytics. Vigil focuses on prop firm rule compliance and AI-powered trade auditing.

If you trade a funded account and need to understand why you keep failing challenges, Vigil is the better tool. It checks your trades against your firm's exact rules, simulates trailing drawdown against your actual data, and uses multi-agent AI to surface the behavioral patterns that cause breaches.

If you need multi-asset trade journaling with basic performance analytics and do not trade prop firm accounts, Trademetria may be the right choice.

The best way to decide is to try both. Vigil's free tier includes 3 AI audits per month with unlimited trade importing. Upload your Trademetria export, run an audit, and see what it finds. The audit takes under two minutes. The insights might save your next challenge.
