Your Why board

The Why board is on the Personal page, below your goals. It holds the reasons you trade: a line you trade by, the number you're after, a date, a picture of what it's for.

Only you see it. It never appears on your trader page, on inkX, in a shared or downloaded card, or in anything you send. Images are stored privately and shown to you through links that expire after an hour.

Your monthly recap shows your first pinned item near the end, under Remember why. It only plays on your own screen: it's never on the recap card you share, and it's left out when your dollar amounts are hidden.

#What you can add

Press + Add and pick what it is. On an empty board, tap one of its outlines — A line, A picture, A number or A date — to add that kind. Show after 2 losses in a day turns on once the board has at least one item.

• Quote — a line you trade by. "Every red day is tuition."
• Image — a photo, with a short caption on it. PNG, JPEG or WebP.
• Number — the number you're after, like "$10k", with a caption: "a month, from payouts".
• Date — a deadline. More than a year away it shows the year; closer, the day.

Each can have a Label above it ("REMEMBER", "FOR MOM"). The board holds up to 12 items, on Free and Pro alike.

Open an item's menu to edit it, Pin or Unpin it, Move earlier or Move later, or delete it. Shuffle mixes the board up for a fresh look; it doesn't change the saved order.

#Pinned items

New items are pinned. Pinned items show in the full-screen card after losses (below).

#After a rough day

With Show after 2 losses in a day on (it is by default), Ink shows your pinned items full screen once your losing trades for the day reach the number — on the Dashboard, and right after you log a trade.

• The number is your Max losses daily rule when that rule is on, otherwise 2. Losses are counted the way your daily rules count them: across all accounts, a trade copied to several accounts once, and a loss by your breakeven band.
• "The day" is the trading day: 6pm to 5pm New York time on futures, 5pm to 5pm on CFD & Forex.
• It shows once per trading day. Close it with I'm good, Escape, or a click outside; Open my Why board takes you to the board.
• Turn the switch off and it never shows. With nothing pinned, it doesn't show either.
