Organizing Profiles ​

Once you keep more than a handful of config profiles, the flat list stops being useful. The profile library gives you groups, search, filters, and sorts so you can find "the one I use for Gold on the funded account" in a couple of seconds instead of scrolling. This page walks the library layout, the groups you get for free and the ones you build yourself, and the one distinction that trips people up: grouping a profile organises it; it does not make it trade.

Grouping is organisation, not assignment

Putting a profile in a group — any group — changes nothing about what actually trades. A profile only affects a channel's signals once you assign it on that channel (per account). The library is a filing cabinet; Applying Profiles is what puts a profile to work.

The library layout ​

Open Settings → Profiles. The library shows your profiles as cards, with a set of groups you can switch between. Three of the groups are computed for you and always present:

  • All — every profile you own.
  • In Use — profiles currently assigned to at least one channel (on at least one account).
  • Unused — profiles you've built but haven't assigned anywhere yet.

In Use and Unused are the fast way to answer "which of these am I actually running?" — and to spot the profiles you tuned once, never assigned, and forgot.

Automatic groups ​

Alongside All / In Use / Unused, the library builds a few groups from your own data — you don't create or manage these:

  • Per-account groups — one group per MetaTrader account, gathering the profiles assigned on that account. Handy when a funded account and a personal account each have their own set of recipes.
  • Imported — profiles that arrived via a share link, so you can tell someone else's recipe from one you built.
  • Recently Used — profiles you've assigned or edited lately, so the ones you're actively working with float to hand.

Custom groups ​

For anything the automatic groups don't capture, you make your own:

  • Create a custom group and give it a name — "Gold", "News", "Prop firm", whatever fits how you think about your profiles.
  • Rename or delete a group at any time. Deleting a group only removes the grouping; it never deletes the profiles inside it.
  • Drag and drop a profile card into a group to file it there. A profile can sit in a custom group and still show up under All, In Use/Unused, and its account group — grouping is a label, not a move.

Group by how you decide, not by settings

A group called "Gold" or "News-safe" tells you when to reach for a profile. A group called "Progressive TP" tells you what's inside — which you can already see on the card. Name groups after the situation, like you name the profiles themselves.

Search, filters, and sorts ​

Above the cards is a search box plus filter and sort controls:

  • Search matches on the profile's name (and description), so typing "gold" narrows the library to your Gold recipes instantly.
  • Filters:
    • Profitable — show only profiles whose trades are net positive so far.
    • Has Trades — show only profiles that have actually placed trades, hiding ones you've never run.
  • Sorts:
    • Manual — your own drag-and-drop order.
    • Recent — most recently used or edited first.
    • P&L — best-performing first.
    • Win rate — highest win rate first.
    • Customisation — most-overridden profiles first (how far each strays from your account defaults).
    • Alphabetical — plain A–Z.

The Profitable and Has-Trades filters and the P&L / win-rate sorts draw on the same trade history behind Profile performance — they're a quick lens, not a substitute for judging a profile by testing it on a demo account.

On mobile ​

On a phone the groups become a horizontal group rail you swipe through instead of a sidebar — the same All / In Use / Unused, account, Imported, Recently Used, and custom groups, laid out to fit a narrow screen. Search, filters, and sorts stay available above the cards.

Grouping vs assignment — the distinction that matters ​

It's worth stating plainly, because the two feel similar and do very different things:

ActionWhereEffect
GroupingSettings → Profiles (this page)Files a profile under a label so you can find it. Changes nothing about trading.
AssignmentChannel Settings → Config Profile (per account)Makes a profile the one that decides how that channel's signals run. This is what actually trades.

A profile can live in five groups and still trade nothing, if it's never assigned. Conversely, a profile with no custom group at all trades perfectly well the moment you assign it on a channel. Use groups to keep your library sane; use assignment to put a profile to work.
