Column Settings Dialog

Open via the gear icon in the table toolbar (or press the column settings button in the header stats row).

The dialog has two tabs (context-aware):

• Configure Chips — Stat chip visibility and order (see Stats Chips below)
• Configure Columns — Column visibility, order, and Column Settings Templates

The available columns depend on the current Display Mode (Trade vs Group/Idea).

Show / Hide Columns

In the Configure Columns tab, a dual-list selector (list shuttle) lets you manage column visibility and order with drag-and-drop:

• Left list (Available) — columns not currently shown; drag a column to the right list to show it
• Right list (Visible) — columns currently in the table; drag a column to the left list to hide it
• Reorder — drag rows within the Visible list to change column order
• Changes apply immediately; click Save to persist

Hidden columns are not rendered (better performance on wide tables).

Reordering Columns

Two ways to reorder:

Method 1: Drag Column Headers (Quick)

1. Hover a column header until the drag handle (grip icon) appears.
2. Drag left/right to the desired position.
3. Drop to reorder — changes auto-save.

Method 2: Column Settings Dialog (Precise)

1. Open Column Settings → Configure Columns tab.
2. Drag rows in the list using the drag handle (☰) to reorder.
3. Click Save.

Column order persists per Display Mode (Trade/Group/Idea) and per table section (Trade Log, Group Log, Analytics Data Tables, etc.).

Resizing Columns

• Hover the right edge of a column header — cursor changes to ↔.
• Drag to resize.
• Double-click the divider to auto-fit to content.

Column widths persist automatically (saved to your profile).

Column Settings Templates

Save and recall column configurations (visibility + order) as reusable templates:

Create a Template

1. Configure columns to your liking (visibility + order).
2. In the Configure Columns tab, click Save as Template (or use the template dropdown).
3. Enter a name and click Save.

Apply a Template

Open the template dropdown in the Configure Columns tab and select a saved template. The column configuration applies instantly.

Reset Columns to Default

In the Configure Columns tab, click Reset to Defaults to restore the factory column visibility and order for the current Display Mode.

What Are Tag Type Columns?

When you create a Tag Type in Tag Manager with Allow Individual Column checkbox, Gainway automatically generates a dedicated column for that tag type in the Trade and Group tables.

These columns show the tag values from that specific tag type for each row, enabling you to:

• Sort by tag value (e.g., group all "ORB" setup trades together)
• Filter by tag via column header filter menu
• Inline edit tags directly in the table
• See at a glance which setup/mistake/psychology tag applies to each trade

Enabling Tag Type Columns

1. Go to Tag Manager (toolbar → Tags icon → Manage Tag Types).
2. Create a new Tag Type or edit an existing one.
3. Enable Allow Individual Column Display.
4. Save.

The new column (named after the Tag Type, e.g., "Setup", "Mistake", "Psychology") automatically appears in the Column Settings dialog for Trade and Group tables. Toggle it on to show.

Inline Tag Editing in Table

Tag Type columns support inline editing:

• Click a tag cell to open the Tag Select Dialog for that specific tag type.
• Select one or more tags from the available list.
• Click Apply — the tag is added/removed from the trade(s) immediately.
• For multiple selected rows, the tag change applies to all selected trades.

This is the fastest way to tag trades in bulk without opening the Trade Form dialog.

Checkbox & Rating Tag Type Columns

A tag type created with the Checkbox or Rating (1-5) format also gets its own column when Allow Individual Column is on. Instead of tag chips, these columns hold one interactive value per row:

• Checkbox column: click a cell to cycle checked / unchecked (3-state types also pass through an undefined state).
• Rating column: click a star to rate 1–5; clicking the current rating clears it.
• Bulk apply: select multiple rows, then change one cell to update every selected row at once.

See Tagging → Value Formats for creating checkbox/rating tag types, and Chart Guide for visualizing them in Analytics.

Sorting & Filtering by Tag Columns

• Sort: Click the tag column header to sort A→Z / Z→A by tag value.
• Filter: Use the global filters in the header to filter the tables.

What Are Stats Chips?

The row of colored chips above the table shows real-time statistics for the currently filtered trade set. Each chip displays:

• Icon — Visual identifier for the stat
• Value — Calculated from filtered trades (updates live as filters change)
• Color — Green (positive), Red (negative), Neutral (gray) based on value

Configure Chips (Visibility & Order)

Click the wrench icon (⚙️) next to the chips row to open the Chips Settings dialog.

Visibility

• Toggle each stat on/off in the list.
• Only enabled stats appear in the chips row.

Reorder

• Drag stats in the list (☰ handle) to change display order.
• Or drag chips directly in the header row (drag-and-drop).

Reset

Click Reset to Defaults to restore the factory chip set and order.

Chip visibility and order persist per Display Mode and per table section (Trade Log, Group Log, Analytics, etc.).
