Getting Started

🚀 Your First 5 Minutes

Just signed up? Here's exactly what to do first:

  1. Create your trading account — go to Customize → Add Account, pick a Quick Preset (Apex $100K, Apex $50K, etc.) or fill in your details manually. Only 3 fields required.
  2. Import your trades — go to Import/Export, select your broker, and upload your CSV. Your full trade history loads instantly.
  3. Run your first AI Coach report — go to AI Coach, select your account and time period, and click Generate Report. Your personalized improvement plan will be ready in seconds.
  4. Set up your eval rules — if you trade prop firms, go to Customize → Edit Account and expand the Eval Tracker Rules section. Use a preset for Apex, TopstepX, or Tradeify.
  5. Check Pre-Market tomorrow morning — add your instruments to the Pre-Market Briefing page and generate your first morning briefing before the open.
Tip: Load the Example Journal first if you want to explore the app before importing your own trades — go to Import/Export → Load Example Journal.
📊 Setting Up Your Trading Account

After signing up, the onboarding wizard will prompt you to create your first trading account. You can also add accounts anytime via Customize → Add Account.

Coaching

AI Coach

What Is the AI Coach?

The AI Coach analyzes your actual trade history and gives personalized coaching feedback — not generic trading tips. It looks at your patterns, your best and worst sessions, your rule compliance, and your behavioral tendencies to give you actionable insights.

This is fundamentally different from per-trade AI annotation. Our AI reads your entire history and coaches you as a trader.

How to Generate a Report
  1. Go to AI Coach in the sidebar
  2. Select an Account (or All Accounts)
  3. Select a Time Period (Today, This Week, This Month, etc.)
  4. Select a Focus Area:
    • Full Review — comprehensive analysis of your entire trading performance
    • Pattern Analysis — identifies your recurring patterns, both good and bad
    • Best Times to Trade — finds your most and least profitable sessions and times
    • Top Mistakes — focuses on what's costing you money
    • Improvement Plan — gives you a specific action plan for next week
  5. Click Generate Report
Report Limits & Tips

Free/Trial users: 3 AI reports total
Pro users: Unlimited reports

Tips for better reports:

  • Use "This Week" or "This Month" for faster generation
  • "All Time" reports may time out on long trade histories — use shorter periods if this happens
  • The more trades you have logged, the more accurate and specific the coaching will be
  • Tag your trades with setups to get setup-specific analysis
Daily Report Cards

Every day you trade, the app automatically calculates a grade (A+ through F) for that day based on your win rate, P&L, rule compliance, and trading behavior.

Click any day on the calendar to see your report card with an AI coaching summary. Grades are cached so they load instantly on revisit.

Morning Routine

Pre-Market Briefing

What Is the Pre-Market Briefing?

The Pre-Market Briefing generates a personalized morning report before you trade. It combines current market conditions with your personal trade history to give you a game plan specific to you — not generic market noise.

Every briefing includes market sentiment, key levels for your instruments, economic events, your best setups for today's day of the week, personal risk warnings based on your history, and a concrete action plan.

How to Generate a Briefing
  1. Go to Pre-Market in the sidebar
  2. Add your instruments to the watchlist — type any symbol (ES, NQ, CL, AAPL, BTC, etc.) and click + Add
  3. Select your asset class: Futures, Stocks, or Crypto
  4. Click Generate Morning Briefing
  5. The briefing streams in within a few seconds
Tip: Your watchlist saves automatically between sessions — add your instruments once and they'll be there every morning.
What's Included in the Briefing
  • Market Sentiment — bullish, bearish, or neutral bias with specific reasoning for your instruments
  • Key Levels to Watch — support and resistance levels per instrument with entry trigger ideas
  • Economic Events — high-impact events today that could move your instruments, with times and expected impact
  • Your Best Setups — based on your last 30 days of trade history, what has actually worked for you on this specific day of the week
  • Risk Warnings — personal danger zones based on your patterns (e.g. if you lose money on Monday mornings, the AI warns you)
  • Today's Game Plan — 5-7 specific actionable bullet points built from everything above
Saving & Reviewing Past Briefings

Click Save Briefing after generating to save it to your history. Past briefings appear below the generator, organized by date. Click any date to expand and review it.

Use Regenerate to run a fresh briefing at any time — useful if market conditions change before the open.

Pre-Market Briefing Limits

Free/Trial users: Limited briefings included in trial
Pro users: Unlimited briefings

If the briefing times out, try reducing the number of instruments on your watchlist or click Try Again.

Prop Firms

Prop Firm Eval Tracker

Setting Up Eval Rules
  1. Go to Customize → click Edit on your account
  2. Scroll to Prop Firm Eval Rules section
  3. Use a Quick Preset or fill in manually:
    • Profit Target ($)
    • Max Daily Loss ($)
    • Max Total Drawdown ($)
    • Min Trading Days
    • Max Trading Days (the 30-day clock)
    • Consistency Rule (% — for PA accounts)
    • Eval Start Date
  4. Save the account
Reading the Eval Tracker

The tracker appears on your Dashboard under the balance card when eval rules are configured.

  • Green progress bars = on track
  • Amber progress bars = approaching limit (>70%)
  • Red progress bars = limit exceeded or violated
⏳ IN PROGRESS — rules not yet met ✅ READY TO PASS — all rules satisfied ❌ EVAL FAILED — a rule was violated
Apex 4.0 Rules (Updated March 2026)

Apex completely overhauled their rules in March 2026. Key changes:

  • Zero minimum trading days — you can pass in one session
  • No consistency rule during evaluation (only applies on PA accounts for payouts)
  • EOD accounts have a Daily Loss Limit; Intraday accounts do not
  • 30 calendar day limit to hit profit target
  • 50% consistency rule applies on PA accounts when requesting payouts

Use the Apex $50K EOD, Apex $50K Intraday, Apex $100K EOD, Apex $100K Intraday, Apex $50K PA, or Apex $100K PA presets for accurate rule tracking.

Discipline

Rule Violation Tracker

What Is It?

Define your own personal trading rules and the app automatically checks every trade against them. Any trade that breaks a rule gets flagged with a warning in the journal.

Adding Rules & Quick Templates
  1. Go to Rules in the sidebar
  2. Click + Add Rule
  3. Select a Rule Type:
    • Time of Day — no trades before/after a time, or only between two times
    • Trades Per Day — maximum trades per day
    • Loss Limits — stop after X losses, max daily loss, max loss per trade
    • Position Size — max/min contracts
    • Trading Session — only/never trade a specific session
    • Instrument — only/never trade a specific instrument
    • Consecutive Losses — stop after X losses in a row
    • Daily Profit Target — stop after hitting your daily goal
  4. Or use Quick Templates: No pre-market trading, Max 5 trades per day, Stop after 3 losses, Stop after 2 consecutive losses, Max $500 daily loss, Power Hour only, No Open session
Compliance Score & Toggling Rules

Your overall compliance score (0–100%) appears on the Dashboard and in the Rules section. It shows what percentage of your trades followed all your rules. Each rule shows how many trades violated it so you can identify which rules you break most.

Click the toggle next to any rule to enable/disable it without deleting it. Useful for testing different rule sets.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there really no credit card needed for the trial?

Correct — sign up with just your email and password for full 7-day access to every feature including unlimited AI coaching reports.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your data is never deleted. If you cancel, your account switches to read-only mode after your billing period ends. You can resubscribe anytime to restore full access.

Can I import trades from my old journal?

If you can export it as a CSV, yes. Use our column mapper to match your CSV columns to our fields. Most users have their full history imported within 15 minutes of signing up.

Why are there duplicate trades after importing?

This can happen if you import overlapping date ranges. Our deduplication uses unique fill IDs for Tradovate/Apex exports to prevent this. If you already have duplicates, go to Customize → Clear Trades for that account and reimport.

The AI Coach timed out — what do I do?

Try selecting a shorter time period like "This Week" or "Today" instead of "All Time" or "This Month". Shorter periods process faster and are less likely to time out.

How does the Eval Tracker know if I failed?

The tracker checks your imported trades against the rules you configured for that account. If your daily loss or max drawdown limit is exceeded on any day, the tracker flags it as a violation. Make sure your trades are imported and assigned to the correct account.

Can I use MyTradersEdge on my phone?

Yes — the app is fully mobile responsive. Open mytradersedge.com/app in your mobile browser. For the best experience on iPhone, tap the Share button → "Add to Home Screen" to use it like a native app.

What's the difference between EOD and Intraday Apex accounts?

EOD (End of Day) accounts update your trailing drawdown once daily at market close and have a Daily Loss Limit. Intraday accounts trail your drawdown in real time (including unrealized gains) and have no separate Daily Loss Limit. Choose based on your trading style.

How do I give someone else access to my account?

Sharing accounts is not supported and violates most prop firm terms of service. Each person should create their own account.

I forgot my password — how do I reset it?

On the login screen, click Forgot Password? and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don't see it.
