TraderVue is the original trade journal — it has been tracking trades for over a decade. Pendulum tracks the trader. Here is which one fits the problem you actually have.
TraderVue is the most established journal in the space and the social/sharing layer is genuinely good. But TraderVue has zero psychology infrastructure — the mood field is a single dropdown. Pendulum is built for traders whose problem is not 'I need to track my trades better' but 'I need to stop being the same person who took those trades.'
Futures traders who blow up to the same psychological pattern every month and need a tool that intervenes before the damage.
Traders who want a battle-tested journal with public trade sharing, replay tools, and a long history of feature stability.
Where Pendulum and TraderVue overlap, where they don't.
“TraderVue is the safer journaling pick if you trust your discipline. Pendulum is the pick if your discipline is the variable you can't keep stable.”
