Do your weekly review

A review looks back at one period of your trading. Vink counts the facts. You write three answers: what to keep, what to change, and one focus for the next period.

Start a review

1. Open Review and click Start a review.
2. Check the period at the top. Pick This week, Last week, This month, Last month or Custom.

Vink picks the week for you. From Friday to Sunday it opens this week. From Monday to Thursday it opens last week. The review covers the account you have selected in the app.

What Vink fills in

• Review: one sentence on your period, your plan first.
• Last focus · kept it?: the focus from your last review, with your daily answers from the debrief.
• Your plan: the rules you broke and what they cost in R, if you wrote a trading plan.
• What stood out: up to three things outside your usual range.
• Trades to look at: up to four trades worth a second look, such as your biggest loss or a trade that broke the plan.
• The mental half: the days you planned and debriefed, your mood before and after, and your tilt checks.

On each trade to look at, you can give your verdict: Good trade, Mistake or Bad luck. Vink saves it on the trade, and Stats uses it under How do I behave?.

Write your three answers

1. Under Last focus · kept it?, choose Kept, Partly or Not kept.
2. Under Keep, write what went well and should happen again. Pick a suggestion or click + In my own words.
3. Under Change, write what cost you and shouldn't happen again.
4. Under One focus for next week, pick a suggestion or click + My own. Write it as When something happens, I will do something.
5. Click Save review.

The focus is required. The question about your last focus is required when there was one.

Where your focus shows up

Until your next review:

• the dashboard shows it before you write today's plan;
• the debrief in the mental journal asks every day whether you kept it;
• Stats shows it under What is worth looking at?.

Your next review starts by showing those daily answers and asking whether you kept it. You can also set a focus from Stats with Make this my focus. The newer focus is the one in force.
