Import Edgewonk Trades to Vigil

Edgewonk is a desktop-based trade journal that focuses on statistical edge analysis and behavioral pattern detection. It uses an Excel-based format and supports manual trade entry with detailed tagging.

Reviewed against current importer coverage on Apr 2, 2026. This guide is indexable because the export path, expected fields, and common breakpoints are specific enough to help a trader verify a real import before saving it.

What Job Is This Guide Actually Solving?

The job is not just moving a Edgewonk export into another dashboard. The job is preserving enough execution detail that you can audit old trades, verify risk decisions, and trust the imported history after the first pass.

Edgewonk already stores the trades. This guide helps you verify whether the exported history keeps the fields Vigil needs for behavioral audit, rule checks, and clean historical review.

What Edgewonk Import Gives You

Your Edgewonk history already has the trades. What it does not have is a second opinion. Vigil runs every imported trade through an AI audit that checks entries, exits, position sizing, and timing against your prop firm rules -- then tells you exactly which trades would have blown your account.

Parsing happens entirely in your browser. Your Edgewonk file never touches a server. Edgewonk exports are clean (8 columns), so the import is fast and rarely needs manual correction.

Who this import guide is for

Best for traders migrating an existing journal into Vigil so they can audit historical behavior instead of rebuilding a log from scratch.

What to verify after import

Expect core trade fields to transfer more reliably than custom notes, tags, or platform-specific annotations. Review the parsed result before assuming every workflow artifact came across intact.

How should you evaluate this import?

- Does your Edgewonk export preserve the exact fields Vigil needs, starting with Date, Symbol, Direction, Entry?

- Are Date values consistent enough that you can verify one known trade before saving the import?

- Do the quirks on this page match the file you are holding, or are you relying on a different export mode than the one this guide describes?

What evidence should survive the import?

- Direction, symbol, size, and realized P&L match the original Edgewonk file after parsing.

- Date survives in a format you can sanity-check against one real trade from the source platform.

- Partial fills, commissions, swap, or grouped executions are reviewed before you trust the imported totals.
