Criteria and score

Criteria are the checklist of a strategy; the score says how much of it you followed on each trade.

Build the checklist

  1. Click Create Strategy, or choose Edit in the ⋯ menu of a strategy.
  2. Type the first criterion in Criterion 1, for example "Trend aligned".
  3. Click Add criterion for each extra condition. Names must be unique.
  4. Drag each weight slider. The other weights adjust by themselves.
  5. Click the lock to keep a weight fixed while you move the others.
  6. Save when the footer says Total 100% and Ready.

How the score works

  • On each trade you tick the criteria you followed.
  • The score is the sum of the weights you ticked, from 0% to 100%.
  • Example: "Trend aligned" 50%, "Clean retest" 30%, "News clear" 20%. Tick the first two and the score is 80%.
  • Strategy screens group trades by score: 0–39, 40–59, 60–79 and 80–100.

What's on the screen

The strategy editor with three criteria that total 100%.
  1. Name: the strategy name you'll see across the app.
  2. Status: Active or Archived.
  3. Criterion: a condition you check on every trade.
  4. Weight: how much the criterion counts in the score.
  5. Lock: keeps this weight fixed while you adjust the rest.
  6. Add criterion: adds another row to the checklist.
  7. Ready: the weights total exactly 100%, so you can save.

FAQ

Why can't I save?

The weights must total exactly 100%, and every criterion needs a name that isn't repeated. The footer shows Needs review until then.

If I change the weights, do old scores change?

Yes. Scores always use the current weights. If you delete a criterion, its ticks on past trades are removed too.
