The trading panel
The dock under the chart: position summary, orders, positions, closed trades, stats, automation and the tester.
Open the panel with Trading in the status bar at the bottom of the shell; the toggle also counts the account's working orders and positions, and turns red when an order's status is unknown. The panel opens as a dock under the charts: drag its top edge to resize it, and press ⌄ (or the toggle again) to hide it. Whether it is open, and how tall, is remembered.
Its strip reads the account in one line: position, Open P&L and, when the broker keeps an account, Realized P&L and Equity. Every symbol is named readably (BANKNIFTY 26 SEP 52500 CE), and prices print in that symbol's own decimals and quantities in its own lots.
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| Orders | Time, side, type, qty, price, status, fill price. A resting order's TP/SL nest under it as ↳ TP / ↳ SL. An order the broker has accepted but not yet numbered reads Awaiting broker; one it never confirms becomes a red Unknown — check the order book row at the top, with Dismiss. |
| Positions | Side, qty, average, mark, open P&L, TP, SL, and how long it has been held (— when the broker does not say when it opened). |
| Closed trades | Entry, exit, P&L, %, R, exit reason (signal, take profit, stop loss, flatten, reverse) and bars held. Hover a row to highlight its fills on the chart. |
| Stats | Net profit, win rate, profit factor, average win and loss, expectancy, max drawdown, commission. |
| Automation | Strategies, the kill switch and the audit log. See Armed state, confirm cards and the audit log. |
| Strategy tester | The backtest of a strategy() script. See Reading the strategy tester. |
Closed trades and Stats need a broker that keeps an account (the paper broker does); with any other broker the panel shows Orders, Positions, Automation and the tester. The strip also carries the amber ARMED badge when a strategy can trade, the Kill button, and the 1-click ON badge. Numbers are explained in P&L and the position numbers.
