Did you know that you can track as many different trading accounts with just one Edgewonk version? If you have multiple accounts across different brokers or simply want to track demo and live trading account separately, Edgewonk helps you do that easily.
Step 1: Create a new journal
First simply start tracking your trades in Edgewonk normal. When you save your Edgewonk journal you are asked to give it a name and Edgewonk will then create a new .xlsc (secure Excel file) where all your trading data is stored.
Do not try to open the secure Excel files. Windows can’t read the data. Always open the regular Edgewonk application – the file with the robot head.
Step 2: Create another journal
When you open Edgewonk the next time, you are given three choices:
1) Original Workbook – this will open a brand new Edgewonk journal
2) Last Save – this will open Edgewonk where you have left off previosuly
3) Choose Save – Here you can choose a specific Edgewonk journal
If you want to start tracking trades for a new account, choose the first option and start a new Edgewonk journal. Again, when you want to save your journal, you have to give it a name and Edgewonk will create another .xlsc file for the second account.
When you go back to your Edgewonk folder, you can now see that there are two .xlsc files for your different trading accounts.
Step 3: Switch between journals
Now when you open Edgewonk, you should use the “Choose Save” option. An explorer window will open and you can choose between your different Edgewonk trading journal files.
And that’s basically it. Keep in mind, don’t try to open the .xlcs files – they are just encrypted data files. Always open the Edgewonk application with the robit head.
Bonus: Edgewonk in the cloud
You can access your Edgewonk data from different computers. Simply store the .xlsc files (not the Edgewonk application) in your cloud drive (DropBox or OneDrive), install Edgewonk on your different machines and then you can access your .xlsc files from everywhere.
