Postmortem vs Tradervue: which journal fits a crypto futures trader?

At a glance

Postmortem pricing from our own [pricing page](/#pricing). Tradervue rows are unverified drafts — TODO_VERIFY every one against [tradervue.com](https://www.tradervue.com) and date them before this page ships.

Pricing

Tradervue’s tier names, monthly and annual prices, and what each unlocks are TODO_VERIFY. Historically it has offered a limited free/entry tier alongside paid plans — TODO_VERIFY whether that is still true and what the limits are, because it decides whether you can test it on your own fills first.

Postmortem is ₱399–₱1,149/month (~$7–$20, depending on your country) for Pro — unlimited exchanges, backtesting, portfolio tracking, unlimited history — or ₱4,309–₱12,409/year. Basic 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. A Postmortem payment buys one period and never auto-renews, and we take GCash, Maya, GrabPay, QR Ph and online banking as well as cards.

Coverage: a brokerage journal meeting a perp exchange

Tradervue’s import path was built around brokers and their statement formats — that’s the heritage, and it’s why equities traders like it. What that means for a Bybit or OKX perp account in 2026 is TODO_VERIFY: which crypto venues import, whether it’s a live API connection or a CSV upload, and whether perpetual contracts arrive with funding attached or as bare fills.

The practical test before you commit: import one week of real perp trades and check three numbers — realised P&L after fees, funding paid or received over the hold, and the leverage on each entry. If any of the three is missing or wrong, the analytics built on top of them are wrong too, however good the charts look.

Postmortem connects Binance, Bybit, OKX, MEXC, Bitget, BingX and Bitunix with read-only keys, signs requests in your browser so the secret never travels in plain text, and stores secrets AES-256-encrypted. Full walkthrough: how read-only auto-sync works.

Review workflow: the thing Tradervue is known for

Tradervue’s reputation rests on a disciplined review loop — annotate trades, write up your day, and (TODO_VERIFY the current form of this) share journals with a mentor, a trading group or the wider community. For traders who learn best by having another human read their entries, that social layer is genuinely valuable and Postmortem has no equivalent: we don’t do public sharing or mentor accounts.

Postmortem points the same effort at a different target. Instead of giving you a better place to write the review, it writes the first draft: every synced trade gets a CLEAN / FLAGGED / MIXED verdict with the reason in plain English, mistakes like revenge entries and oversizing are auto-tagged, and the coach totals the cost of each habit so the conclusion arrives with a price on it. One tap adds mood at entry (calm, FOMO, tilted, tired), because in futures the expensive mistakes are behavioural.

Put crudely: Tradervue is the better notebook, Postmortem is the better analyst. If you already do the review reliably every week, you may not need ours.

Perps are not stocks, and the maths knows it

Funding, leverage and liquidation distance are what separate a crypto-futures journal from a general one. A stocks-first tool can log the fill perfectly and still tell you a position was flat when eleven hours of funding made it a loss, or treat a 2% adverse move the same at 3× and at 20×.

Postmortem nets funding and fees out of every trade and slices P&L by setup, session, symbol and hold time — the aim is turning “I do fine except Sundays after midnight” into a line item with a cost attached. How Tradervue handles perp funding and leverage is TODO_VERIFY.

What Tradervue does better

• Multi-asset coverage. Equities and broker futures are a category Postmortem doesn’t serve at all. TODO_VERIFY the exact asset list.
• Track record and maturity. Tradervue has been journaling traders for many years — TODO_VERIFY how many — and that shows in edge cases, imports and support.
• Sharing and community review. TODO_VERIFY the current feature set, but a journal another person can read is something Postmortem deliberately doesn’t offer.
• TODO_VERIFY: check their features page for anything else that genuinely beats us and add it here.

What Postmortem does that Tradervue doesn’t

• AI verdicts and coaching on every trade, naming your most expensive habit with the damage totalled. (TODO_VERIFY that Tradervue has no equivalent.)
• Native crypto-futures maths — funding and fees netted out, leverage and liquidation first-class.
• [Blind backtesting](/features/backtesting) on real candles at a hidden date, so hindsight can’t inflate your setup’s win rate.
• [Fixed-risk position sizing](/features/position-size-calculator) on the free plan.
• A real free plan, no auto-renewal, and local SEA payment rails.

Which one should you pick?

Pick Tradervue if you trade equities or broker futures, you want the mature tool with the deepest review-and-share workflow, or a mentor is going to be reading your journal.

Pick Postmortem if your book is crypto perps and you want funding-accurate numbers plus a journal that reviews the trades for you at about $7 a month. Start free — one exchange, 30 days, the full leak diagnosis, no card.
