summary: what's in play is your live setup tracker — what WIP is, how it works, and links to detailed guides on every feature.
what's in play is edgeful's live setup tracker. instead of opening individual reports one at a time to check if a setup is active, WIP shows everything that's forming or triggered across your chosen assets — all in one view, updated in real time.
the idea is simple: you come in before the session, check what's in play, and know exactly which setups are live and worth your attention. forming setups tell you what to watch. in play setups tell you what's live right now.
if you're wondering how this actually helps your trading — finding A+ setups instantly, replacing memorization with live data, building a repeatable process — read how what's in play helps you trade.
what is what's in play
WIP isn't a single report — it's a dashboard that brings together roughly 27 different reports, all running at once. each report has a live, real-time component that can surface active setups during a session. WIP consolidates all of them into one view so you can scan your entire setup universe in seconds instead of bouncing between individual pages.
this is most useful during morning prep and throughout your trading session. you get a single pane to see what's forming, what's triggered, and what's completed — without opening anything manually.
selecting assets and tickers
across the top of what's in play are three tabs — futures, stocks, and all.
futures shows only futures instruments (ES, NQ, YM, GC, etc.)
stocks shows only equity setups
all shows everything at once
note: what's in play is currently available for futures and stocks only. forex and crypto are not yet supported on WIP.
start with the tab that matches what you trade. if you trade ES and NQ exclusively, the futures tab keeps the view clean and relevant.
searching by ticker
if you're looking for a specific asset, type it directly into the search field to filter the WIP results to that ticker.
the details view
click any setup row to expand it. the details view shows:
live price references — the key levels for the setup as they stand right now
live status — the current state of the setup updated in real time
historical stats — the historical performance data for that exact configuration
link to the full report — a direct link to open the underlying report page

common questions
what's the difference between what's in play and running a report?
WIP gives you a live, multi-asset snapshot of what's happening right now. reports give you deep historical analysis for a specific asset, session, and setup. use WIP for your morning prep and live session monitoring — use reports when you want to study a setup's full data history.
do I need to refresh the page to see updated statuses?
no — what's in play updates in real time. statuses change automatically as the session progresses.
why are fewer setups showing than I expected?
your filters are likely active. check the probability slider and the bias filter — they can hide setups going the opposite direction or below your threshold.
