Tell positions, orders, and fills apart

A submitted order does not necessarily mean an open position.

Before you start

Use the same account and instrument when comparing an order request, its fills, and the remaining net position.

Read the activity tabs

  1. Orders lists submitted and working orders, including a remainder after a partial fill.

  2. Positions shows net exposure per instrument. An opposite-side fill can reduce or close exposure instead of creating a hedge.

  3. Trades shows closed positions with entry, exit, size, and result. Scroll the table sideways to inspect all columns.

  4. Use Trade journal to inspect the individual fills and calculated fees behind those results.

Check an unexpected result

  1. Confirm the account and instrument.

  2. Review the order status and fill records around the submission time.

  3. Check Positions for remaining exposure and Trades for any completed round trip.

WHEN YOU NEED A HAND

Common questions

Why did a sell reduce my long position?

Positions are net exposure. An opposite-side fill can reduce, close, or reverse the existing position instead of opening an independent hedge.

Why are there several fills for one order?

An order may execute in parts. Compare total filled quantity and the working remainder rather than counting rows as separate orders.

CHECK YOUR RESULT

You’re done when…

You can identify the request, its executed fills and the resulting remaining exposure.

If this does not match what you see, use Common questions above or contact support with the page and account details.
