Goals

Goals are at the top of Personal, with your Why board below them and Notes one click away. Only you see this page — goals never appear on your trader page, on inkX or in anything you share.

#Four kinds of goal

When you add a goal, give it a name (2 characters or more) and pick its type:

Type	Example
$ amount	Make $2,000 this month. Get paid $1,000. Pass an evaluation.
Streak	Journal 20 trading days in a row. Five green weeks in a row.
% target	Keep 90% of my rules this month. Review my trades.
Count	Read Trading in the Zone — 14 chapters.

Picking a type opens the rest: what it tracks (a number Ink already keeps, auto, listed first; or your own, manual), the target and when it ends.

First payout (a starter on a new board) always tracks your selected account: an evaluation counts toward its profit target ("$1,328 of $3,000"); a funded account counts its payout days ("3 of 5 payout days"). If that account can't, the starter says what to set first.

#Goals that track themselves

An auto goal updates on its own from your journal. Nothing new is worked out — each one reads a number you can already see elsewhere in Ink:

• Net P&L — your trades' net P&L (after fees) closed in the period, on one account or all of them.
• Get paid $X — the payouts you've recorded in the Fee tracker in the period.
• Pass an account — an evaluation's progress to its profit target, the same "to target" the Accounts page shows.
• Reach payout — a funded account's payout days done out of the number its rules require, e.g. "3 of 5 payout days".
• Journal streak — your planning streak from Days. See Your planning streak.
• Days within max trades — from your daily rules, in a row or as a share of the days it was on.
• Keep my trade rules — trades where every rule you checked was followed, out of the trades with any rule checked: "Kept on 41 of 49 checked trades".
• Review my trades — trades with both a grade and a plan mark, out of the trades closed in the period.

A rate is never rounded up onto its target: 89.6% of a 90% goal shows 89%.

#Manual goals

Choose Your own — you update it for anything Ink can't see. A count gets +1 on its card (and −1 when you point at it), and you can tap its number to type it. A streak of your own is counted in Days or Weeks — its card says so: "0 of 5 weeks", "5 weeks to go", "Goal: 5 in a row". For other types, edit the goal to set where you are now.

#When a goal ends

Pick when it Ends:

• This month — measured over the whole calendar month and judged when the month is over. It then starts again for the next month.
• By a date — judged the morning after that date. A money, streak or count goal that's reached earlier is done straight away.
• No end — done as soon as it's reached.

Ink judges goals once a day, early in the morning (New York time). A judged goal moves to Done, marked hit or missed, with the number it ended on — that's the number your monthly recap uses, even if your trades change later. A judged goal can only be deleted, not edited.

#In your monthly recap

Your recap has a Goals scene with the month's judged goals: how many you hit, then each goal with its number, hit or missed.

• A goal you reached counts in the month you reached it (New York time), even when Ink marks it done the next morning, in the next month.
• A This month goal counts in its month. A goal judged on its date, and a missed one, counts in the month of that date.
• In a one-account recap you only see that account's goals. The all-accounts recap shows every goal.
• Ink judges goals early in the morning, so the goals from the month's last day show up in the recap a little after midnight on the 1st.

Goals are never on the recap card you share.

#Free and Pro

Free has up to 3 active goals; Pro has no limit. Done goals don't count. If you go back to Free with more than 3 active goals, the oldest 3 stay editable and the rest become Read-only on Free: they keep tracking, and you can still delete them.
