Head to head

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

Last updated August 14, 2026 · By the Postmortem team · 8 min read
Postmortem is our product — we say plainly where TradesViz is the better pick. TODO_VERIFY: every TradesViz claim on this page must be re-checked against their public pricing and features pages, and the verification date stated here, before publishing.

THE SHORT VERSION

TradesViz is the analytics-heaviest journal in this field: a very large library of charts and reports across stocks, options, forex and crypto, with crypto support on a paid tier. TODO_VERIFY the current tier names, prices, crypto exchange list and which AI features sit on which plan. Postmortem is the opposite bet — one asset class, crypto futures, and a journal that hands you a conclusion rather than another dashboard, at ₱399–₱1,149/month (about $7–$20, depending on your country) with a free plan.

The short version: if you trade multiple asset classes and genuinely enjoy slicing your own data, TradesViz gives you more ways to do it than anyone. If you trade perps and what you actually want is “tell me which habit is costing me the most, and how much”, that is the entire product Postmortem sells.

Pricing

TradesViz sells tiered plans with an annual discount, and crypto support sits on a paid tier rather than the entry one — TODO_VERIFY the current tier names, monthly and annual prices, which tier unlocks crypto, and which unlocks the AI features. Our own journals roundup quotes figures verified in July 2026; treat those as a starting point to re-check, not as current.

Postmortem Pro is ₱399–₱1,149/month (~$7–$20, depending on your country) or ₱4,309–₱12,409/year, Basic is ₱299–₱859, and Free is genuinely free forever — auto-sync for one exchange, 30 days analysed, the leak diagnosis and the position-sizing calculator, no card. Payments buy one period and never auto-renew, and GCash, Maya, GrabPay, QR Ph and online banking work alongside cards.

Analytics: breadth vs a conclusion

This is the honest heart of the comparison, and it isn’t really about features. TradesViz gives you an enormous surface: chart types, report types, filters, and ways to cut your history that no specialist tool matches. Handed to a trader who will actually sit down and interrogate it, that surface is worth the money.

Postmortem deliberately gives you less. It slices P&L by setup, session, symbol and hold time with funding and fees netted out, and then does the part most traders skip: it names the pattern. Every trade gets a CLEAN / FLAGGED / MIXED verdict with the reason in plain English — “Entered 4 minutes after the previous loss. 3.1× your usual position size.” — mistakes are auto-tagged, and the damage is totalled: “Third revenge trade this week — total drag −$118.”

So the question isn’t which tool has more charts; TradesViz does, comfortably. It’s whether more charts is what has been missing. If you’ve had a journal for six months and still can’t name the habit costing you the most money, another 40 report types is not the fix.

Crypto futures depth

TradesViz covers crypto as one asset class among several. Which exchanges sync, whether perpetual futures arrive with funding attached, and how leverage is represented are TODO_VERIFY — and worth testing directly, because a multi-asset data model has to work hard to keep perps honest.

The test, again: import a week of real perp trades and check realised P&L after fees, funding over the hold, and leverage per entry. Postmortem treats all three as first-class because it has no other asset class to compromise for; how the read-only auto-sync works covers the seven exchanges end to end, with requests signed in your browser and secrets stored AES-256-encrypted.

What TradesViz does better

  • Analytics depth. Nothing here is close. If you want to slice your data every conceivable way, this is the tool. TODO_VERIFY the current report and chart counts if you want to quote a number.
  • Multi-asset coverage. Stocks, options and forex are categories Postmortem doesn’t serve at all. TODO_VERIFY the exact list.
  • Import flexibility. TODO_VERIFY the current broker and exchange import list — breadth of import is part of what you’re paying for.
  • TODO_VERIFY: check their features page for anything else that genuinely beats us and add it here.

What Postmortem does that TradesViz doesn’t

  • A verdict on every trade, in plain English, plus the named habit and its running cost. (TODO_VERIFY exactly what TradesViz’s AI features do before we claim this is unmatched.)
  • Crypto-futures-first maths — funding and fees netted out by default, leverage and liquidation first-class, no multi-asset compromise.
  • [Blind backtesting](/features/backtesting) at a hidden date on real candles, so you learn your setup’s actual win rate rather than the one your memory keeps.
  • [Fixed-risk position sizing](/features/position-size-calculator) on the free plan.
  • Mood and mistake tagging built for the four minutes after a loss, where futures accounts actually die.
  • A real free plan, no auto-renewal, and local SEA payment rails.

Which one should you pick?

Pick TradesViz if you trade more than crypto, you want the deepest analytics available at any price, and you’re the kind of trader who will genuinely use them.

Pick Postmortem if you trade crypto perps and you want the review done for you — funding-accurate numbers, auto-tagged mistakes, and your most expensive habit named with a price on it — for about $7 a month. Start free and let a week of your own fills decide.

Common questions

Does TradesViz support crypto futures?

TradesViz supports crypto, on a paid tier rather than the entry plan. Which exchanges sync, and whether perpetual futures are handled with funding and leverage as first-class fields, is TODO_VERIFY against their current documentation.

Which has better analytics?

TradesViz, on breadth — it has far more charts and report types. Postmortem’s analytics are narrower and pointed at one job: identifying the behaviour costing you the most money and putting a number on it.

Which is cheaper?

Postmortem Pro is ₱399–₱1,149/month (about $7–$20, depending on your country) with a free forever tier and no auto-renewal. TradesViz’s current pricing is TODO_VERIFY — compare against the tier that actually includes crypto, not the entry tier.

Is there a free plan?

Postmortem: yes — one exchange auto-synced, 30 days of history, the full leak diagnosis, no card. TradesViz: TODO_VERIFY whether a free tier exists today and what its limits are.
