edgelog-sync

Local companion for the Edgelog trade journal. Watches your Sierra Chart TradeActivityLog.txt and streams new fills to your Edgelog account in real time — so hearts shatter, tilt-lock re-evaluates, and every screen updates within seconds of execution.

Install

npx edgelog-sync@latest --help

No global install needed. Works on Node 20+ (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Setup — one-time pair

1. In Edgelog, go to /connections → Live Sync and click Generate token.
2. Copy the token (starts with elg_) — it's shown once.
3. On your trading PC:

npx edgelog-sync auth --token elg_YOUR_TOKEN

Run — start watching

Recommended (DTC, real-time): connects to Sierra Chart's local DTC Trading Port.

npx edgelog-sync watch --dtc

Requires Sierra Chart configured to accept DTC connections:

• Global Settings → Trade → DTC Server → Server Enabled: Yes
• Trading Port: 11099 · Encoding: JSON · Require Authentication: No (or set Username/Password to EdgeLog)

Sub-second latency, no text-log required.

Alternative (file watcher, ~1s poll): for setups where DTC isn't enabled. Watches a Sierra TradeActivityLog text export as it grows:

npx edgelog-sync watch --log "C:\SierraChart\SavedTradeActivity\TradeActivityLogExport_2026-07-02.txt"

Leave either mode running while you trade.

Other commands

edgelog-sync status              # show current pairing + watch state
edgelog-sync sync-once            # one-shot: pull the current log, POST, exit
edgelog-sync logout               # forget the token (revoke separately in Edgelog UI)

Config

edgelog-sync stores its config at ~/.edgelog/config.json:

{
  "apiUrl": "https://edgelog.app",
  "token": "elg_...",
  "logPath": "C:\\SierraChart\\Data\\TradeActivityLog.txt"
}

Override the API URL at any time via EDGELOG_API_URL=... — useful for local dev against http://localhost:3200.

Data handling

• Runs entirely on your machine. Only new fills are sent — never your Sierra Chart configuration, market data, or unrelated files.
• Uses HTTPS + a per-machine bearer token. Revoke instantly in Edgelog → /connections if a machine is compromised.
• Every fill has a stable executionId; the server deduplicates, so re-running the watcher never doubles a fill.
