Why traders pick EdgeFlow

Free tier with AI

EdgeFlow gives you 5 trades a month plus basic analytics for free. TradeZella has no free tier and no free trial — you pay $49/mo before you can even evaluate.

Honest refund policy

Cancel EdgeFlow anytime, no questions. TradeZella has a no-refund policy that's the #1 complaint on Trustpilot — once you pay, you can't get your money back.

Mobile experience built mobile-first

EdgeFlow installs as a PWA and works offline — designed from day one to log a trade in under 60 seconds from your phone. TradeZella's native apps shipped in 2024 and early reviewers describe them as less polished than the desktop product.

Predictable flat pricing

$29/mo Pro or free tier — flat, no upsells. TradeZella ranges from $29 (Essential, no AI) to $49 (Pro, full AI) depending on which features you actually need.

Migrating from TradeZella in 10 minutes

If you're already on TradeZella, switching to EdgeFlow is straightforward — you don't lose any history. Step 1: Export your trades. From TradeZella, go to Trades → Export → CSV. This downloads every trade you've logged with all metadata (instrument, direction, entry/exit prices, fees, notes, tags). Step 2: Import into EdgeFlow. At /trades/import, drag the CSV onto the upload zone. The parser auto-detects column headers and shows you a preview table — you can fix any mismatches before committing. Most fields map one-for-one; instrument symbols and direction are normalized automatically. Step 3: Reconnect your screenshots. Screenshots don't come through CSV (no broker does), so reattach them per-trade if you want AI chart vision analysis. Or skip — your text-only trades still get full AI review treatment. Step 4: Run your first AI Coach review. Open any imported trade and click "Analyze This Trade". You'll get a letter grade, decision score bars, a focus tip for next time, and pattern comparisons against your recent trades. Use your daily review credits to compare EdgeFlow's analysis against the Zella AI reviews you've already had — that's the fastest way to see whether the AI is actually telling you something useful. Step 5: Cancel TradeZella. Once you're on EdgeFlow, you can cancel your TradeZella subscription from their billing portal. Note: TradeZella has a strict no-refund policy, so cancelling only stops future charges — you keep your exported history forever. Total time: about 10 minutes for a year of history. No code, no API setup, no support tickets.

Frequently asked

Is EdgeFlow cheaper than TradeZella?+

Yes — EdgeFlow Pro is $29/mo flat. TradeZella ranges from $29/mo (Essential, no AI features) to $49/mo (Pro, full Zella AI). EdgeFlow also has a genuine free tier (5 trades/month plus basic analytics), while TradeZella has no free tier and no free trial.

Can I import my TradeZella history into EdgeFlow?+

Yes — TradeZella exports your trades to CSV. EdgeFlow's import tool accepts the standard CSV format and most fields map directly (instrument, direction, entry, exit, fees, notes). It takes about 10 minutes for a year of history.

Does EdgeFlow support futures and crypto?+

Yes — futures (NQ, ES, MNQ, MES, YM, GC, CL and more) and crypto perpetuals (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP) are first-class. Multipliers are baked in so your P&L is calculated correctly per contract.

Is the AI any good or is it a gimmick?+

It's powered by Claude Sonnet 4. Trade reviews give you a letter grade, score bars across setup/entry/risk/psychology, and a specific next-trade focus tip. The natural-language Q&A queries your actual trade data — ask 'what's my win rate on NQ Mondays?' and get a real answer from your own history.

What about TradeZella's Trade Replay feature?+

EdgeFlow doesn't currently offer tick-by-tick replay. We bet on chart screenshot uploads + AI vision analysis instead — for most journaling workflows, an annotated screenshot is faster than scrubbing through a replay.

What if I want to switch back?+

EdgeFlow exports your full trade history as CSV at any time from /account/export. No lock-in. Cancel from your account settings; no email-the-CEO retention loop.

Trading involves substantial risk of loss. EdgeFlow is a journaling and analysis tool, not financial advice.
