Using Tags to Categorize Trades

Create custom tags for setups, mistakes, and conditions. Filter and compare performance across tag groups to find your edge.

What Are Tags?

Tags are custom labels you attach to trades to group them by any criteria you define. Unlike fixed categories, tags are completely freeform — you decide what they mean and how you use them. A trade can have multiple tags at once.

Once trades are tagged, the Analytics page can break down your performance by tag — showing win rate, average P&L, and other metrics for each group. This is how you find out which setups actually make you money and which ones you should stop taking.

Creating Tags

1

Open Settings

In the sidebar, click Settings. This opens the settings panel with multiple tabs across the top.

2

Go to the Tags Tab

Click the Tags tab. You'll see any existing tags listed, along with a field to create new ones.

3

Add a New Tag

Type the tag name into the input field and press Enter or click Add Tag. The tag is created immediately and available when logging trades.

4

Delete Tags

Click the X next to any tag to remove it. Note: deleting a tag removes it from all trades it was attached to — this action cannot be undone.

Applying Tags to Trades

Tags can be applied when adding a new trade or by editing an existing one.

Filtering by Tag

On the Trades page, use the filter controls at the top of the table to show only trades with a specific tag. This is useful for reviewing all trades from a particular setup in sequence — seeing what worked and what didn't in context.

On the Analytics page, a tag filter at the top lets you scope all charts and metrics to a specific tag. Switching between tags instantly updates every chart, so you can directly compare setups side by side.

Tag Performance in Analytics

The Analytics page includes a Tag Performance table that lists every tag alongside its key stats:

This is one of the most powerful features for identifying your actual edge. Tags that show a consistently high win rate and positive average P&L are setups worth focusing on. Tags with negative average P&L may indicate patterns you should cut from your playbook.

Tag Ideas to Get You Started

Not sure how to organize your tags? Here are some common approaches:

By Setup Type

Tag trades by the pattern or setup you were trading:

By Mistake

Tag trades where you made a process error, regardless of outcome:

By Session or Instrument

Tip: Start with fewer tags and add more as patterns emerge. A tag system with 3–5 meaningful categories is more useful than 20 tags you rarely use consistently.
