summary: what's in play is your live setup tracker. it covers 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.

one note on names: what's in play lives at edgeful.com/live/futures/wip, and the screener is its own page at edgeful.com/live/futures/screener. if an email from André mentions the "what's in play screener," that's the screener — the multi-ticker bias table — not this setup feed. see the screener — overview.

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.

the WIP overall daily bias is the aggregate of every report's directional read (bullish, bearish, or neutral) across the tickers and reports in your setup. it tallies those live reads and shows you the bullish / neutral / bearish split. the wider a section, the more of your setup leans that way.

what makes the WIP bias its own number: WIP applies a lookback (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years) and rolls up the reports you've selected for each ticker. so a "bullish" WIP bias is a tally across your selected reports using your chosen historical period, a different aggregate than a screener with, say, 4 reports. every report is weighted equally: a low-hit-rate report counts the same as a high one. it's one input to orient you, not a trade trigger.

a few reports lock in their bias at a set time rather than updating live — the Power Hour Continuation report, for example, locks in the session candle direction at 3:00 PM ET. full details are in the overall daily bias (what's in play).

prefer to watch first? Andre walks through the whole dashboard: the asset tabs, picking tickers and reports, using the data filters to cut out low-probability setups, the in play / forming / completed sections, and the details view that puts the live data and historical data side by side. one heads-up: the video was recorded before the overall daily bias shipped on WIP (Andre mentions it's coming). it's live now; see the overall daily bias (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.

in the left panel under WIP inputs, the asset picker has three options — futures, stocks, and all.

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.

to focus on one asset, use the ticker filter at the bottom of the left sidebar. type a ticker (for example NQ or 6C, upper or lower case) and WIP narrows the in play, forming, completed, and filtered-out sections to that ticker's cards. the overall daily bias recalculates too, so it reflects that one ticker instead of your whole setup. clear the box to go back to everything.

a few things to know:

click any setup row to expand it. the details view shows:

the point of the details view is that you don't have to jump back and forth between WIP and the report page. the live status and the historical data behind it are in the same panel. one thing to watch: some setups are the by-weekday variant of a report, which means the historical stats are for that weekday specifically (e.g. only past Tuesdays, a smaller sample than the full report), not the overall sample. the report name in the row tells you which variant you're looking at.

each aspect of what's in play has its own focused guide:

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 data filter, frequency filter, and bias filters, which can hide setups going the opposite direction, below your rate threshold, or built on too few past sessions. also check the ticker filter at the bottom of the sidebar: if a ticker is typed there, WIP only shows that one.

can I see a card for one weekday only — say, IB by rejection on Tuesdays?

not from a standard card. WIP cards combine every weekday into one historical read, so the number you see is the all-days sample. to get a day-specific read, add the by weekday variant of that report to your dashboard (IB by weekday, for example), or open the full report from the details view and customize it to the weekday you want.

how is the WIP bias % calculated, and why does it differ between symbols?

WIP rolls up the bias from each report on your dashboard for that ticker, session, and lookback. different symbols are different markets with different patterns, so the numbers won't match. full breakdown in the central FAQ — WIP section.

can I customize which reports show on my WIP dashboard?

yes. see selecting reports on what's in play.
