Goal Tracker

Set process goals — the behaviours you control — with a target and current value, and watch progress bars fill, with a built-in nudge to prefer process over P&L.

Quick answer: The goal tracker is built around process goals rather than profit targets. You enter each goal with a name, a current value and a target — for example journal 20 of 20 trades, or keep risk under 1% on every trade — and the tool draws a progress bar and percentage for each, plus an overall completion figure. It deliberately steers you away from P&L goals, because outcome targets invite the very emotional, results-chasing behaviour that hurts traders; process goals measure the inputs you actually control, which is where consistency and improvement come from.

One goal per line as name | current | target — e.g. Trades journalled | 14 | 20. Use process goals, not profit targets.

Your process goals

How to use it

Enter one goal per line in the form name | current | target. Keep goals about behaviour you control — trades journalled, rules followed, sessions prepared — not about rupees earned, which depend on the market. Progress bars and an overall figure update as you type. Copy or download the summary into your weekly review. Hitting a process goal is a genuine win even in a losing week, because it means you did your job.

Frequently asked questions

Why process goals instead of profit goals?

You cannot control what the market pays you on a given day, so a profit target pushes you to force trades, oversize and chase — exactly the behaviour that causes losses. Process goals measure the inputs you fully control, and consistent inputs are what let a real edge show up over time.

What are good examples of process goals?

Journalling every trade, using your checklist before each entry, keeping risk within your limit, following your routine, or reviewing your week. Each is a behaviour you can complete regardless of whether the market cooperates.

Should I never set outcome goals?

Outcome goals have a place for long-horizon planning, but as day-to-day targets they are counterproductive because they tie your emotions to noise. Even long-term financial goals are best pursued by focusing daily attention on the process that might achieve them.

How often should I set and review goals?

Weekly is a practical cadence — short enough to stay relevant, long enough to show a trend. Review at week's end, celebrate the process goals you hit, and reset for the next week. Pair this with the Weekly Review Generator.

What if I keep missing a goal?

Treat a missed goal as data, not failure. A goal you repeatedly miss is usually too big, too vague or blocked by an obstacle — shrink it, sharpen it, or remove the obstacle. A goal you always hit easily can be raised.

Does hitting my process goals guarantee profit?

No. Process goals make you consistent and disciplined, which improves your odds over many trades, but the market still determines outcomes. The point is to control what you can and let results follow, rather than the reverse.
