Choose your own routine days and fields, and why an empty day never counts as a zero.
By NKTrades
The routine is a Premium feature. You set it up under Account → Journal → Routine form; you view your results and history under Trading → Reports, on the Routine tab.
You decide what you fill in every morning. Each field has a fixed kind (scale, choice, multi-choice, yes/no, number, short text, long text or time) that's locked once the field exists: want to measure something else, add a new field. There are ready-made fields for things like your sleep, how sharp you feel, your bias for the day, or your maximum loss today, but you can also type your own question.
Delete a field later and your earlier answers stay put: they belong to the day you gave them.
You choose which days we ask for your routine. Monday to Friday by default; trading weekends too, tick those days as well. You can't turn the routine off entirely by unticking every day. There's a separate 'routine active' switch for that. Days outside your routine never count toward anything and never break a streak either.
On a day that falls within your routine, you get a dialog with your questions on arrival, and it keeps coming back until you fill it in. There's no way to permanently skip a day without completing it.
Skip a routine day and it doesn't count as 'no' or as a bad score: it simply doesn't count. Unknown stays unknown, never a zero. You see this in your coverage (how many of your routine days you actually completed) and in the averages your routine feeds: a day you didn't fill in never drags your average down.
Today only counts toward your streak or coverage once you've actually filled it in, not the moment the day starts.
On the Routine tab you see your coverage over time and a day-by-day history, with a detail view for every entry you filled in. Answers to a scale question show as a ring; change a field's scale later and it never changes how earlier answers were shown or counted.
