Strategies — measure which setups actually pay
Create strategies from tagged notes, assign trades to them, and read performance per strategy.
A strategy in Axel starts as a note. That’s deliberate: your playbook should live where you write, and the stats should follow it.
1. Create a strategy
- Go to Notes → New note.
- Write your setup — entry conditions, invalidation, management rules.
- Tag the note ▪ Strategy.
Every note tagged Strategy automatically becomes an option in the trade form’s Strategy dropdown.
2. Assign trades to it
When adding or editing a trade, pick the strategy in the dropdown. Auto-synced and CSV trades can be assigned the same way — open the trade, choose the strategy, save.
3. Read the results
- Advanced Stats → Stats → Performance by strategy — a histogram of P&L per strategy: which setups pay, which bleed.
- The same chart is available as a dashboard widget.
Be strict about assignment. A strategy’s stats are only as honest as your tagging — an unassigned winner flatters nothing, a misassigned loser blames the wrong setup.
