TDLab vs TradesViz
The TradesViz alternative for a focused discipline loop
TradesViz is an expansive multi-asset journal with hundreds of analytics, AI, simulators and backtesting. TDLab deliberately does less: find the behavioral leak, test one corrective rule and measure adherence.
TradesViz is one of the broadest products in the category. Its official pages advertise a permanent free stock-journal tier, multi-asset imports, hundreds of analytics, AI features, custom dashboards, replay, simulators, backtesting and specialist options tools.
TDLab is not trying to match that feature count. It is the alternative for traders who want a quieter operating loop: review the decision, quantify the behavior, simulate a corrective discipline rule and keep measuring that rule on future trades.

Why traders pick TDLab
Less surface area, one behavioral loop
TDLab is useful when hundreds of reports would create more review work. It keeps returning the trader to one behavior, one rule and one evaluation period.
Deterministic simulation before adoption
Every candidate rule has explicit parameters and an affected-trade list, so the historical difference can be audited before the rule becomes active.
The Playbook carries the finding forward
A surviving rule becomes a future-trade evaluation instead of ending as a backtest result, dashboard observation or checklist note.
Discipline evidence stays separate
Review coverage, valid losses, profitable violations and not-applicable rule states remain visible instead of being collapsed into one performance number.
When TradesViz is the better choice
TradesViz offers exceptional breadth for its price and is the better choice for many multi-asset traders. Pick TradesViz if:
- You need its permanent free stock-journal tier or broad broker import coverage.
- Options analytics, options flow, custom dashboards or hundreds of statistics are central to your workflow.
- You want market replay, multi-asset simulation and strategy backtesting in the same product.
- You prefer a highly configurable analytics workspace over a narrow guided review loop.
Choose TDLab when the priority is not the number of tools, but the continuity from behavior evidence to corrective rule to measured adherence.

Frequently asked questions
Is TDLab a cheaper version of TradesViz?+
No. TradesViz already offers a strong free tier and low paid pricing. The products differ mainly in scope: TradesViz is a broad multi-asset analytics and simulation platform, while TDLab is focused on behavioral rule simulation and future adherence.
Does TradesViz also analyze mistakes and trading plans?+
Yes. TradesViz offers trade and day planning, checklists, mistake analysis, AI coaching and prop-firm compliance features. TDLab differs in the deterministic sequence from a behavior signal to a simulated corrective rule to automatic future Playbook evaluations.
Which tool is better for options traders?+
TradesViz is likely the better fit when options journaling, Greeks, flow, options simulation or strategy backtesting are core requirements. TDLab does not position itself as an options analytics suite.
How much does TDLab cost compared to TradesViz?+
TDLab Pro starts at €14/mo at launch pricing with a 7-day trial. TradesViz lists a free Basic stock plan, Pro at $19/mo or $14.99/mo billed yearly, and Platinum at $29/mo or $22.49/mo billed yearly, verified August 4, 2026. Always recheck live pricing before purchasing.
