Setup criteria and the edge finder

Tick the criteria each trade met, then see the win rate of trades that met all the ones you pick.

Updated Oct 30, 2026

Criteria are the checklist of a strategy — the conditions your setup is supposed to have. On each trade you tick the ones it actually met. Over time, Ink shows which combinations win.

Tick criteria on a trade

When you pick a strategy with criteria in Log trade or the trade editor, Setup criteria lists them. Each starts unticked — tap the ones the trade met. Changing the strategy clears the ticks.

On Log trade, every criterion is saved as met or not met. In the editor, only the ones you tap (or that were already recorded) are saved. A trade with none recorded shows no criteria on its page.

The edge finder (Pro)

Under a strategy (Stats → Strategies, or its own page), Edge finder lets you pick up to 5 criteria (the first is picked to start). Side by side: the win rate, n and R / trade of the trades that met all of them, and of all the strategy's trades — then the difference, "↑ +N pts win rate when you wait for it" (evaluateCombo and summarizeCombo, lib/pnl/criteria-combo.ts).

  • A trade only counts if it has a result for every criterion you picked. A trade logged before a criterion existed is "not evaluated" and left out — not counted as a miss.
  • Fewer than 10 matching trades adds "early read": the number is shown, but don't lean on it.

Example (made-up trades). You pick "Swept liquidity" and "With trend". Of 30 trades on the strategy, 26 have results for both; 12 of those met both, and 8 of the 12 won. The edge finder shows win rate 67% at n=12; the 4 not evaluated are left out.

By criterion lists each criterion on its own: n is the trades that met it, the bar is how often you followed it (met ÷ the trades you answered it on — the same figure as Checklist followed above), then Win, R / trade and Net for the trades that met it. A trade can meet several, so the rows don't add up to the total.
