Paste the screenshot of your chart. Vink reads the instrument, direction, entry, stop, target, exit, size and R:R off it — you check it and save. Logging takes seconds rather than minutes, which is the only way you end up with enough trades for the pattern to show.
One paste from TradingView. Nothing below was typed.
Logging is not the point — it is the toll you pay to get to the point. Vink is built as three connected passes, and you can walk any one of them from here.
Screenshots read by Vink, MetaTrader reports imported in bulk, partial targets and partial exits, and every derived number computed for you.
Equity curve, P&L calendar, R-multiple distribution, and cuts by symbol, day, time, tag, emotion and news — across one account or all of them.
A weekly or monthly review that scores itself, carries one focus into the next period, and — if you want — lets someone else watch you keep to it.
Everything above is the detailed world. There is a second one, and you can move between them whenever you like: two screens, no sidebar, and a capture that needs a symbol, a direction and an entry. Everything else on it — stop, target, result, a note — is optional, and the result field takes arithmetic, so 200+230 is a valid answer to “what did it make?”.
Filter it, sort it, bulk-move it between accounts, combine scaled entries into one position, or pull any two trades side by side. Open positions and still-unfilled orders sit in the same list as closed trades, so nothing quietly disappears.

That last figure is the one most journals never show you. A front-run is a trade you planned and placed and never got filled on — price didn’t come back to you. The entry above is the one you planned, not one you got, so Vink keeps the whole trade out of every figure that scores you: win rate, expectancy, net P&L, the equity curve, prop-target progress and your daily loss limit. What it would have paid is reported on its own line instead. A setup you watched go without you is a different thing again — those live in their own Missed book, out of every figure that scores you unless you deliberately switch them on — and never folded in behind your back.
Ranked by what it is costing you: the mistake tag you keep paying for, the weekday that doesn’t pay, the setup that does, the trades you were most confident about. Every line carries the sample it rests on and how far to trust it, and anything about why is marked as a guess — that part is yours to settle. It tells you where to look. It does not yet keep score of what you’ve fixed.
Phase chains, profit targets, maximum drawdown measured from your starting balance the way the firms measure it, daily loss limits, and automatic pass/fail detection. Run several accounts at once with an explicit rotation across them.
Against a prop rule it is static and FTMO-style — the deepest your realized P&L has been below where you began, not a floor that trails your equity high. Your own stats keep the ordinary peak-to-trough figure alongside it.
Hit the profit target and the phase is marked passed; breach the maximum drawdown and the chain ends and archives itself. You get told, you do not have to notice.
Journal in R without booking cash and Vink values it through your risk-per-trade so progress and drawdown stay real — labelled estimated, never shown as a booked figure. Filled trades only: an order the market never took is worth no money at all, however good its R would have been.
Your win rate, your average win and your average loss — read off the trades you have already taken on that account — put through 100,000 simulated runs against its own profit target, maximum drawdown and risk per trade. It answers one question: how often does an edge shaped like yours reach the target before the drawdown ends the account. Every input is editable, so a what-if costs one keystroke, and the figure comes with the margin of error it was measured to. The daily loss limit is deliberately left out of the model — a run over trades has no days in it — and the page says so where you read the number.
Every week or month, Vink assembles the period for you — the trades you took, the orders that never filled, what your best and worst did, and how the numbers moved compared with last time. You write the reflection. It carries one focus into the next period and shows it to you when you open the next review.
“Stop moving the stop. If it’s hit, it’s hit.”
A week view with impact and currency filters, high-impact events matched against each trade’s whole lifetime — before entry, during, after exit — plus a news-day filter and a “by news” cut in your stats.
Average-cost accounting for stocks, crypto and cash, with one button that fetches current prices and resolves the symbol for you. Deliberately a separate section — investing is not trading and mixing them corrupts both sets of numbers.
Take everything with you whenever you like, or delete all of it. Screenshot storage is capped at 100 MB per user — not per trading account — and you can hide every money figure on screen with one toggle when someone is standing behind you.
No card, no trial clock. Three things are already committed and written into the terms: notice before anything is ever charged, an export that works today, and a delete that really deletes.
