Managing positions & orders

The bottom bar is mission control for everything you have on: your balances, open positions, working orders, and trade history, each on its own tab. Click a position to close it at market or right-click to edit its brackets on the chart; click a working order to cancel it. In live mode an extra Audit Log tab records gateway events.

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

The tabs split your account into what you hold and what you have working. Balances shows funds, Positions lists open trades marked to live price, Open Orders lists orders still working, and Trade History is the record of what filled. Live mode adds an Audit Log of order events, so you can trace exactly what the venue did with each order.

Most management happens with a click. Click a position to flatten it at market; right-click to jump to its brackets on the chart. Click a working order to cancel it.

Partial closes

Section titled “Partial closes”

The 25 / 50 / 75 buttons beside a position close that fraction at market. The realized slice is split off as its own closed row - with its own realized PnL - while the open row shrinks and keeps its identity, stop, and target. Anything short of 100% goes through these; the ✕ closes the whole position.

Amending a working order

Section titled “Amending a working order”

Drag an order’s price line on the chart to reprice it in place: the venue modifies the order rather than cancel-and-replacing it, so the order keeps its id, its time priority story, and its reserve is adjusted by the difference. A resting post-only order refuses an amendment that would make it cross.
