Tags
Tags help you organize trades in a way that fits your own process. They make it easier to group related trades, filter your journal, and review repeated patterns across setups, mistakes, or market conditions.
What tags are for
Tags give you a flexible way to label trades beyond ticker, date, or asset class. Instead of relying only on fixed trade data, you can mark trades with the context that matters most to your own review process.
How tags help
Filtering
Tags can be used with Trade Journal filters to quickly find the trades you want to review.
Pattern review
When you use tags consistently, they make it easier to spot repeated strengths and repeated mistakes across many trades.
Personal structure
Tags let you organize your journal around your own workflow instead of forcing every trade into the same rigid structure.
Good ways to use tags
- Mark a setup type that you trade often
- Track a recurring mistake you want to reduce
- Label a specific market condition or context
- Group trades that belong to a certain review theme
Best practices
- Keep tag names simple and easy to reuse
- Use the same wording every time for the same idea
- Avoid creating too many one off tags
- Focus on tags that will actually help future review
Tags are most useful when they stay consistent. A small set of clear tags is usually more valuable than a large set of rarely reused ones.
