Goals you can see coming

Set a target — a floor to reach or a ceiling not to cross — for a day, a week or a year, and watch the pace toward it, with a note when you hit it and a warning when you drift.

Three goals with progress bars: a weekly trade cap, a monthly profit factor floor and a daily loss cap, with a streak.

A target, and which side of it counts

A goal is a number and a direction. "At least" is a floor — a monthly profit factor of 1.5, twelve trading days. "At most" is a ceiling — no more than five trades a day, a loss cap, a drawdown cap.

  • 9 measures: net P&L in dollars or percent, win rate, profit factor, average R, trades closed, trading days, a loss cap and a drawdown cap
  • 5 periods: daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly — for all your accounts, or one
  • closed trades only, counted by the day they closed
Goals → each goal's progress, then New goal

Pace and streaks

For the measures that add up over a period, a pace line shows where today's progress points by the end of it. A streak counts the periods you finished on the right side, and only finished ones.

You get a note when a goal is reached, and a warning when it is drifting off track — kept quiet in the first days of a period, when one trade swings everything.

Which plans

Essential includes 3 goals; Pro has no limit and adds the drawdown cap.
