PerpLog vs Tradervue: Which Trading Journal Is Right for You?

Updated April 15, 2026

At a glance

What Tradervue does well

Tradervue is the legacy gold standard for stocks, options, and futures journaling. It launched in 2011 and has spent over a decade refining trade-review workflows, tagging systems, mistake tracking, and broker import pipelines. If you trade US equities or futures on a major broker, Tradervue's import experience is effectively friction-free, and its analytics are calibrated for those instruments.

Strong features specific to Tradervue: detailed MAE/MFE analysis, trade-level psychology notes with custom flags, public sharing of trades for community feedback, and reporting that integrates with most US tax workflows.

What PerpLog does that Tradervue doesn't

• Native Hyperliquid integration. PerpLog reads your trades directly from the Hyperliquid API. No CSV preparation, no manual entry, no formatting gymnastics. Tradervue requires you to manually format Hyperliquid history into a shape it can ingest.
• Execution from the journal itself. PerpLog includes a position sizer that calculates contract size from your stop loss with real Hyperliquid fees, and you can execute trades (with bracket orders) directly. Tradervue is journal-only.
• Adaptive Sizing.A quarter-Kelly engine with Bayesian shrinkage across segmented stats (session, playbook, day-of-week) recommends optimal risk per trade. Tradervue surfaces the historical data; it doesn't prescribe future sizing.
• Pyramid Entries with SL floor.Add to winning positions using 50% of unrealized P&L as risk budget while an enforced stop-loss floor protects locked profits. Not a Tradervue feature.
• HLP Capital Auto-Pilot. Idle capital earns yield on the Hyperliquid liquidity pool; automatic rebalancing keeps your trading buffer topped up. Hyperliquid-specific.

When PerpLog wins

You trade Hyperliquid perpetuals, you want sizing, execution, and journaling in one tool, and you value adaptive risk management calibrated to your own historical performance. The auto-journal alone replaces the manual export workflow that the Tradervue+Hyperliquid combination forces on you.

When Tradervue wins

You trade stocks or options on a US broker (TD/ToS, Tastyworks, IBKR, Schwab, etc.) and your journaling needs are heavy on tagging, mistake review, and tax reporting. Tradervue's broker imports and decade-plus of feature refinement make it hard to beat for that audience.

Can you use both?

Yes. Many traders do. PerpLog handles your Hyperliquid execution and journal; Tradervue handles your other markets. The two don't share data but the workflows are complementary if you trade across asset classes. There's no technical incompatibility.

The bottom line

The honest answer is segmentation. If your trading is Hyperliquid-heavy, PerpLog is the right tool because it eliminates manual journaling and adds execution. If your trading is stock/options-heavy, Tradervue is the right tool because that's what it's spent 14 years optimizing for.
