Nice concept, but deliberately incomplete statistics
I subscribed to Edgeful for 3 months, genuinely hoping it would bring value to my trading. The idea of data-driven setups is appealing, and the marketing is convincing. But after using it and digging deeper, I ran into a fundamental problem that, in my opinion, undermines the entire value proposition. Edgeful only provides win rate. No risk/reward ratio. No average gain. No average loss. This is a massive gap. Any trader with basic statistical knowledge knows that win rate alone tells you almost nothing about whether a setup has a real edge. A 70% win rate sounds great — until you realize the average winner is 0.5R and the average loser is 2R. Without that context, you're flying blind. The data is right there. If they can track winning and losing trades, they can absolutely compute average gain, average loss, and derive a risk/reward ratio. It's not a technical limitation — it's a choice. I reached out multiple times via email after the end of my subscription to suggest adding this metric. Each time, I was categorically refused. This raises a serious question: why would a platform built on "finding your edge" deliberately withhold the one metric with the winrate that would confirm or deny whether that edge actually exists? My personal take — and this is just my opinion — is that adding risk/reward data would likely reveal that many of their highlighted setups don't hold up over time. High win rates look great in marketing material, but expected value is what actually matters in trading. Showing only half the picture is, at best, misleading. If you're considering subscribing, ask yourself: would you trust a backtest that only shows win rate? I wouldn't. And neither should you.

hi Jean, it seems like you’re looking for pre-built trading strategies with entries, exits, and backtest performance for every report on edgeful. our reports and features give you the insights to build your own data-backed strategies but we’re not a signals platform. would you mind letting me know what you’re struggling with the most as a trader currently? i’d love to be able to suggest some reports / features that can help you start building data-backed strategies independently
