Additionals

Besides the statistics of your trade, like the data described above, there are also other metrics that can be given to a trade:

Tags

Tags will help to categorize trades based on specific labels. Categorize the trades with tags to see which category tags are profitable to trade and which ones are not. It helps identify which strategies, patterns or mistakes yield the biggest wins or losses.

• Because the tags are used in dashboard graphs and other parts of the UI, the maximum length of a tag is fixed to 26 characters. You can find more about tags on the tags documentation page.
