Insights

An insight compares two groups of your trades on the selected account — trades after a loss against the rest, say — and tells you when one group does clearly better or worse. Stats → Insights lists them in two tabs — Costing you and Working for you — over the window you pick (Pro).

#What's compared

• Your 1st, 2nd and later trades of a session.
• Trades after a win, after a loss, and after two losses in a row.
• Bigger-than-usual size after a loss.
• The weekday.
• How long you held.
• Long vs short.
• Each instrument.
• Off-plan vs on-plan trades (from your Days).

#When an insight appears

From lib/insights/insights.ts:

• Both groups need at least 10 trades. Until then: "Not enough data yet".
• The gap must be clear: the average P&L per trade differs by at least 25% of your average trade size (in dollars, ignoring sign), or the win rates differ by at least 10 points.
• If either group has fewer than 20 trades, it's marked Early signal; otherwise Established.

There's no statistical test. Insights say "linked to", because a pattern isn't proof of a cause.

#Impact

Impact = (group's average − the other group's average) × the group's number of trades: roughly what those trades made compared with the same number at the other group's average.

Example (made-up numbers). 12 trades after a loss averaged −$40; your other trades averaged +$35. Impact: (−$40 − $35) × 12 = −$900.

View N trades (or View this trade) opens the Journal filtered to exactly those trades.

#Pin or dismiss

• Dismiss (✕) hides it here. "N dismissed · Show" at the bottom lists them — Restore brings one back.

#Time-based insights hidden?

If an account has Tradovate trades imported before Ink asked for your time zone, their times may be shifted — so the insights that depend on time are hidden until you re-import or fix those trades. See Time zones.
