Trade history

Trade history is the read-only audit trail: every run, every order inside it, and a plain-English reason for anything held back.

A single run expanded: the held group, then the orders that went out.

Picking a window

Two date pickers set the range, and Last 30 Days resets to the default. Runs group by day, newest first, each header carrying that day’s execution and trade counts.

The run row

Each run is a collapsible row showing the local time, the system, the execution type, a status badge, and the trade count. Open it for the detail, which starts with a one-line summary. Older runs may say detail is unavailable, meaning they predate structured tracking.

Held for a later run

The most common thing people come here to understand. Adjustments too small for the exchange to accept as a single order are grouped, with the reassurance stated once at the top:

Normal on a book this size. Each was too small for the exchange to accept as a single order, so it is held and re-checked on the next run. Your exposure stays within one exchange unit of target.

The held group. Each row names the direction, the outcome, and the two figures that explain it.

The header summarises the set, for example 13 adjustments, none larger than $6.51, about $43.79 in total. The total is gross, not net: a missed trim and a missed add do not cancel out, since each is independently off target. When only some rows recorded a size, the header says so rather than quoting a figure covering fewer rows than you see. It may also mention sub-lot residuals too small to itemise, held for the same reason but not listed.

Each row gives the symbol, what the order would have done, a short label, and usually the adjustment size and the smallest accepted order.

A row may carry an amber deferred N runs in a row note. One run of holding is expected. Five or more is not, and that row moves into Other outcomes.

Full background: orders that were held.

Other outcomes

A separate group for anything not routine. If a run has one, read it. Two land here by design:

• Market data missing. We could not confirm this market’s order size increment, so no new position was opened. Closing is unaffected.
• No usable price. No reliable price was available, so nothing was placed.

Anything this build does not recognise lands here too, because an unexplained outcome must never sit under a banner saying it is normal.

The other held labels you may see

Label	Meaning
Below one lot	Smaller than one tradable unit of this market.
Below exchange minimum	Below the exchange’s minimum order size.
Reduction pending	Above target by less than the exchange will trade in one order.
Below minimum after price move	The price moved between sizing and placing, leaving the order under the minimum.
Closed in full	Trimming would have left a remainder too small to trade later, so the position was closed completely instead. This one did go out.

Leverage Capped

An amber block listing any symbol where the leverage requested exceeded what the venue allows, with both figures. Exchanges set per-symbol caps, and this is the system respecting them.

Phase 1 and Phase 2

Orders run in two phases, always in this order:

• Phase 1: Position Reductions. Closes and trims: selling longs, buying to cover shorts.
• Phase 2: Position Additions. Opens and increases: buying longs, selling to open shorts.

Reductions go first so the margin they release funds the additions. See the daily rebalance.

Reading an order card

Each order shows the symbol and two badges, the action and the order side.

Action	What happened
open	A new position was started.
increase	An existing position was added to.
decrease	An existing position was trimmed.
close	A position was closed out.
flip	A position was reversed, long to short or the reverse.

Below that: quantity, leverage, price, USDT value, and the exchange’s order ID. Green tick means placed, red cross means not.

Two different leverage numbers

The leverage on an order card can be the margin leverage sent to the exchange, which must be a whole number, rather than the leverage you set. A sizing setting of 1.75x, for instance, goes to the venue as 2x. Where the two differ, the label says which one it is and a tooltip explains. See leverage.

You may also see:

• Rounded down to the nearest step of N, target was $X. The order went out slightly smaller than requested, since exchanges trade in fixed increments.
• Exchange Error with the venue’s own message, the market’s increment and its smallest accepted order, so the numbers reconcile.

What to do when a run looks alarming

• Lots of held adjustments. Normal. The header usually shows a dozen sub-$10 nudges rather than one large failure.
• Anything in Other outcomes. Worth a look. If it recurs on one symbol across several runs, get in touch.
• A symbol deferred five or more runs running. Not self-correcting. Raise it.
• A failed run. Start with the summary and error text on the run.
