Chats and messages

Direct messages, message requests, group chats, and what you can do with a message.

Updated Nov 10, 2026

Messages (the speech bubble in inkX's dock) holds your direct messages: your conversations on the left, the open one beside them. Search people finds a conversation. A group's chat lives under Groups — open the group to talk. A coral dot on the dock means something is unread.

Message someone

Open their profile and click Message.

  • If they don't follow you, your first message is a request — one text message. They see it under Message requests at the top of Messages and can accept, delete or block. You can write more once they accept.
  • Someone who only takes messages from people they follow shows "Only accepts messages from people they follow".

You can start 20 new conversations and send 10 requests a day.

In a chat

Messages can be up to 2,000 characters, with up to 4 photos, emoji or a GIF. To share from your journal:

  • Trade — one of your latest trades as a compact card (P&L, R, entry and exit, notes — you choose, in % or $).
  • P&L card — the same trade shown as its P&L card.
  • Day — a Day's plan and review.

Everyone sees a frozen copy — editing the trade or Day later doesn't change the message.
