Tags and Organization

Tags provide flexible organization across all modules. They help you categorize, filter, and analyze your data in ways that make sense for your business.

What Are Tags?

Tags are custom labels you can attach to:

  • Challenges

  • Funded Accounts

  • Private Accounts

  • Transactions

Unlike fixed categories, you create tags that match your needs.

Why Use Tags?

Custom Organization

Categories are predefined. Tags let you organize data your way.

Cross-Module Filtering

Use the same tag across modules to see related items. Tag a challenge and its resulting funded account with "Q1 Goals" to track them together.

Flexible Analysis

Group items by strategy, market, time period, or any dimension you care about.

No Limits

Add multiple tags to any item. Items can belong to several groups at once.

Creating Tags

While Adding Items

When creating a challenge, funded account, or transaction, look for the Tags field. Type to:

  • Select existing tags from the dropdown

  • Create a new tag by typing and selecting "Create"

While Editing Items

Open the detail drawer, find Tags, and add or remove tags.

Tag Strategies

By Market

Tag items by what you trade:

  • Forex

  • Futures

  • Indices

  • Crypto

  • Commodities

Use case: "Show me all my Forex challenges and their outcomes."

By Strategy

Tag by trading approach:

  • Scalping

  • Day Trading

  • Swing Trading

  • Position Trading

  • News Trading

Use case: "How much have I spent on swing trading challenges?"

By Time Period

Tag by when items were created:

  • Q1 2025

  • Q2 2025

  • H1 2025

  • 2025

Use case: "What's my total Q1 revenue?"

By Goal or Project

Tag items related to specific goals:

  • Scaling Goal

  • New Firm Test

  • Strategy Development

  • Main Income

Use case: "Track all items related to my scaling project."

By Status or Priority

Tag by importance or attention needed:

  • Primary

  • Secondary

  • Watch Closely

  • Review Needed

  • Experimental

Use case: "What needs my attention?"

By Prop Firm (if useful)

If you work with many firms, tag by firm:

  • FTMO

  • MyFundedFX

  • TFT

  • The5ers

Use case: Quickly filter to see all items for one firm.

Filtering by Tags

In Module Lists

Open filter panel → Select Tags → Choose one or more tags.

Only items with those tags appear.

Multiple Tag Selection

If you select multiple tags, you'll see items that have ANY of the selected tags (OR logic).

Combined with Other Filters

Tags work alongside other filters. Example:

  • Status: Active

  • Tags: Forex

  • Shows: Active challenges tagged as Forex

Managing Tags

Consistent Naming

Decide on a naming convention:

  • Capitalize consistently (Forex vs. forex vs. FOREX)

  • Use clear, meaningful names

  • Avoid duplicates with slight variations

Limit Proliferation

Don't create too many tags. If you have 50 tags, finding the right one is hard. 10-20 well-chosen tags are more useful.

Review Periodically

Check your tags occasionally:

  • Are you using all of them?

  • Should any be consolidated?

  • Do any need renaming?

Delete Unused Tags

If a tag is no longer useful, remove it from items and (if possible) delete the tag itself.

Tags Across Modules

You can use the same tags in different modules:

Challenge: "FTMO 100K" → Tag: "Forex", "Q1 2025", "Main Income"

Funded Account: (converted from above) → Tag: "Forex", "Q1 2025", "Main Income"

Expense: "TradingView Pro" → Tag: "Forex" (since you use it for Forex)

Now you can filter by "Forex" to see challenges, funded accounts, and expenses all related to Forex trading.

Tagging Best Practices

Apply Tags When Creating

Add tags immediately when adding items. It's easy to forget later.

Use Tags for Analysis

Before generating reports or reviews, think about what tags would help you analyze data.

Keep It Simple

Start with a few essential tags. Add more only when needed.

Document Your System

Write down your tagging strategy so you remember:

  • What tags exist

  • What each means

  • When to apply each

Bulk Tagging

If you have many items to tag, use bulk actions (select multiple → Add Tags) for efficiency.

Common Tag Combinations

Tags vs. Categories

Categories (for transactions):

  • Predefined by the system

  • Limited options

  • Used for reporting consistency

Tags:

  • Created by you

  • Unlimited options

  • Used for custom organization

Use categories for standard classification, tags for custom grouping.
