    Hi,

    As the title says, my inquiry is about that virtual office – or physical – every Trader must-have.

    We all need to archive trades, reports, insights and so on.

    Then what is the best method, practice or whatever it is to do this right? Do we need to get lost in a labyrinth of folders in Windows or whatever OS one is using?

    Is there any recommended software, tips, or anything you may wish to share with us?

    I don’t know if there’s any software that may do the job, but I think you can do without it simply using 4 folders and some basic naming rules.

    The main folder can be named ProRealTime (where you store generic data or code snippets not specific to any other folder).  Add 3 subfolders to it:

    • Strategies
    • Indicators
    • Screeners

    where you will store specific data for each of them, be them TXT, ITF, XLS, JPG etc… files, following naming rules (of your choice) that will help you search any code easily.

    If you create a strategy which uses CCI and Bollinger Bands to be used on DOW JONES, Daily TF, name it CCI-BB Dow Daily, or, if it is made for the 4H TF name it CCI-BB Dow 4H, etc… you decide whether starting with either CCI or BB, you could start in alphabetic order, so that BB-CCI Dow Daily could be a better choice.

    Whenever you want to retrieve any code written for CCI, you may search the folder (see attached pic) with the text “*CCI*“, or to search those with Bollinger Bands using MTF support “*BB*mtf*“.

    That works fine for me, despite having several thousand files in my ProRealTime folders.

    I use very similar to Roberto, but I have more folders. For example, for Strategies I file under Good, Mid or Bad … depending on results of Demo Forward Test.
