For each study, TeleTrader provides a short description, groups it in one or more categories, and assigns tags. You can change the description to make your own notes about the study, add categories to a study or remove them from it, and assign your own tags to a study. The name of a study and its type (indicator, signal or function) can also be adapted.
You can mark a study as your favorite. Those studies will show up when you click the button Favorites in the Insert Study dialog.
All this is done in the Study Editor. On the Tools menu, click on Study Editor to display it.
