Pricing
TraderSync sells tiered monthly plans with an annual discount; the tier names, prices and what each unlocks are TODO_VERIFY. Whether there is a genuinely free plan or only a trial is also TODO_VERIFY — it matters, because it decides whether you can test the tool against your own fills before paying.
Postmortem’s full product — unlimited exchanges, backtesting, portfolio tracking, unlimited history — is ₱399–₱1,149/month (~$7–$20, depending on your country), or ₱4,309–₱12,409/year. Basic (two exchanges, six months of history, full analytics) is ₱299–₱859. Free is free forever: auto-sync for one exchange, your last 30 days analysed, the leak diagnosis, and the position-sizing calculator — no card.
Two structural differences that survive whatever TraderSync’s current numbers turn out to be: a Postmortem payment buys one period and does not auto-renew, and we take GCash, Maya, GrabPay, QR Ph and online banking alongside cards, so a trader in Southeast Asia doesn’t need a credit card at all.
Coverage: brokers vs exchanges
This is the real fork. TraderSync’s import breadth is aimed at brokers — the long integration list is what you’re paying for if you trade equities, options or CME futures. Exactly which crypto exchanges it syncs, whether that sync is API-based or CSV, and which tier it sits on are all TODO_VERIFY.
Postmortem syncs seven crypto exchanges and nothing else: Binance, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, Bitget, BingX and Bitunix. Keys are read-only, requests are signed in your browser so the secret never travels in plain text, and secrets are stored AES-256-encrypted server-side. Create the key with trading and withdrawals disabled — a journal never needs them. Here’s how the read-only auto-sync works end to end.
If you hold a brokerage account and a Binance account, honestly: one journal for both is worth more than either tool’s feature list. Take TraderSync.
Perps are not stocks, and the maths knows it
A journal built stocks-first records a fill, a size and a P&L. Crypto futures add three things that change the number: funding paid or received over the hold, leverage (which decides whether a 2% move was a scratch or a margin call), and liquidation distance. If those aren’t first-class, your “P&L per setup” is a rounded-off approximation, and the position that quietly bled funding for eleven hours looks like a break-even trade.
Postmortem nets funding and fees out of every trade and slices P&L by setup, session, symbol and hold time. How TraderSync handles perp funding and leverage specifically is TODO_VERIFY — test it with a funded, leveraged position you already know the true cost of, and check the number matches.
Automated capture vs automated judgment
Most journals, TraderSync included, automate the record: pull the trades, draw the reports, hand you the analysis to do. Reading your own reports and drawing the conclusion is on you — which is exactly the step that stops happening after a losing week.
Postmortem automates the review. Every synced trade gets a verdict — CLEAN, FLAGGED or MIXED — with the reason in plain English: “Entered 4 minutes after the previous loss. 3.1× your usual position size. At least the stop was set before entry.” Revenge entries, oversizing and deleted stops are auto-tagged, and the coach totals the damage: “Third revenge trade this week — total drag −$118. Cut revenge trades and last month turns green.” Whether TraderSync ships anything comparable on its top tier is TODO_VERIFY.
What TraderSync does better
An honest list, because you should pick the right tool, not our tool:
- Multi-asset coverage. If you trade stocks, options or futures on a broker as well as crypto, Postmortem simply doesn’t serve you — TraderSync does. TODO_VERIFY the exact asset list.
- Broker integration breadth. TODO_VERIFY the number and names of supported brokers, but this is the category TraderSync is built for and we are not in it at all.
- Maturity. TraderSync has been in market far longer than Postmortem. TODO_VERIFY how long, but maturity counts for edge cases and support depth.
- TODO_VERIFY: check their current feature page for anything else that genuinely beats us — this list is not allowed to be short for flattering reasons.
What Postmortem does that TraderSync doesn’t
- AI verdicts and coaching on every trade — a plain-English judgment and a named most-expensive habit, not another dashboard. (TODO_VERIFY that TraderSync has no equivalent on its top tier.)
- [Blind backtesting](/features/backtesting). Pro drops you at a hidden date in real market history; you step forward bar by bar and trade your setup. Hindsight can’t cheat when it doesn’t know the date.
- [Fixed-risk position sizing](/features/position-size-calculator) — two inputs, on the free plan, so the fat-fingered 20× “oops” never reaches the exchange.
- Crypto-futures maths by default — funding and fees netted out, leverage and liquidation treated as first-class.
- A real free plan, no auto-renewal, and local SEA payment rails.
Switching is not a migration
There’s nothing to export. Your trade history lives on the exchange, not in your journal — so “switching” means pasting the same read-only API keys into Postmortem, and Pro pulls your full derivatives history from the exchange itself, open positions included. Run both against the same week of fills and let your own data decide.
Which one should you pick?
Pick TraderSync if your book spans asset classes — equities, options, broker futures — and you want one journal covering all of it, or you need a specific broker integration.
Pick Postmortem if you trade crypto futures on Binance, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, Bitget, BingX or Bitunix and you want the journal to do the reviewing: verdicts, mistake tags, leak totals, funding netted out. Or start free and let a week of your own fills make the argument.
