Naming Windows workspaces you will reopen

A naming pattern for Smart Crypto Calculator PC files that still makes sense after the holding period ends.

Exports named projection-final-v3 pile up. Six months later, nobody remembers whether “final” included the withdrawal fee.

Pattern we teach in onboarding

TICKER-DAYS-YYYYMMDD-source

Example: USDC-90-20260518-exchangeA. If you run an early-exit alternative, append -early30. The date is the assumption date, not the file-save date, when those differ.

Folder hygiene on the PC

Keep an active folder for open holds and an archive folder for completed windows. Move the calculator export the day principal returns — not “someday when tidy.”

Why it matters in Hong Kong sessions

Clients who return for a scenario comparison often bring last year’s files. Clear names let us reload history in minutes instead of rebuilding from memory.
