Home/Switch from Trademetria

Switch from Trademetria to Vigil

Trademetria is a multi-asset trade journal covering stocks, options, futures, forex, and crypto. It provides performance dashboards, tag-based filtering, and basic analytics.

Reviewed against current migration coverage on Apr 2, 2026. This migration page is indexable because it has a specific export path, preserves concrete field expectations, and explains where Vigil does and does not replace the current workflow.

What Job Is This Migration Page Solving?

The job is not simply leaving Trademetria. The real job is preserving your trade history while upgrading from storage and review into a workflow that can audit breaches, behavior, and risk with evidence you can still verify later.

Trademetria is already doing trademetria workflow coverage. This page exists to show when that is enough, when it is not, and what must survive the migration if you move into Vigil.

Switch Now If

Switch now if you already have export access to Trademetria and the missing piece is analysis, not storage. Vigil is strongest once your historical trades exist and you want them audited against prop firm rules instead of just archived.

Wait Or Stay If

Stay on Trademetria longer if its current workflow is still doing the main job you need and you are not yet importing enough data to benefit from deeper auditing. Switching tools only pays off when you will actually run audits and act on them.

How should you evaluate the switch?

- Can your current Trademetria plan export the raw trades you need, or are you assuming migration access you do not actually have?

- Will you still need Trademetria for workflows Vigil does not replace yet, or is the missing layer specifically audit and compliance?

- Can you verify one known trade after import before assuming your historical journal context transferred cleanly?

What must survive the migration?

- Core fields such as Date, Symbol, Side, Entry Price survive the migration intact.

- Any fee, partial-fill, or grouped-trade edge case still reconciles against the original Trademetria export.

- You know which parts of the old workflow remain outside Vigil's current boundary before you switch habits.

Why Traders Switch from Trademetria

Trademetria is a solid trade journal, but most journals share the same fundamental limitation: they store your trades and show you charts, but they do not tell you what to change. You can see that Tuesday was a losing day, but not why. You can see your win rate dropped, but not which specific behavior caused it.

Vigil takes a different approach. Instead of being a passive log, it runs an AI-powered audit against your trading data. The audit identifies concrete patterns -- revenge trading after losses, oversizing on specific instruments, holding losers too long on Fridays, violating your prop firm drawdown rules during the London session. These are the kind of insights that actually change your P&L.

If you are trading a prop firm account, Vigil also monitors your trades against the firm's specific rules (daily loss limits, max drawdown, consistency requirements) and warns you before you breach. No other trade journal does this.

What usually breaks during migration?

- Multi-asset support: stocks, options, futures, forex, crypto.

- Tags column preserves user-defined trade labels.

- Side uses Long/Short naming convention.

- Migration fails when traders assume the export proves workflow parity. The file can transfer while the old process still does a different job.

What should you check before switching?

- Export a recent sample month from Trademetria before you move the full history.

- Spot-check one winning trade and one losing trade after import.

- Use the comparison table as a boundary document, not just a sales pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I migrate from Trademetria to Vigil?

Export your trades from Trademetria as CSV, then upload the file to Vigil's import page. Vigil automatically detects the Trademetria format, maps all columns, and normalizes your trades. The entire process takes under two minutes.

Will I lose any data switching from Trademetria?

No. Vigil imports all trade data that Trademetria exports including symbols, direction, entry/exit prices, quantities, and P&L. Some Trademetria-specific fields like custom tags or notes may not transfer, but all core trade data is preserved.

Is Vigil free to use after switching from Trademetria?

Vigil offers a free tier that includes trade importing, basic analytics, and AI audits. You can import your full Trademetria history at no cost and start getting insights immediately.

What does Vigil do that Trademetria does not?

The core difference is AI-powered trade auditing. While Trademetria stores and displays your trades, Vigil runs a structured analysis that identifies behavioral patterns, rule violations, drawdown risks, and consistency issues. It is built specifically for prop firm traders who need to understand why they are losing money, not just how much.

What should I verify before switching from Trademetria?

Verify that you can export the actual trade history from your current Trademetria plan, then check one winning trade and one losing trade after import to make sure the fields that matter for audit survived the move.

Why is this Trademetria migration page indexable?

This migration page is indexable because it has a specific export path, preserves concrete field expectations, and explains where Vigil does and does not replace the current workflow.
