Tracking Trade Activity and Open Positions

The Trade Activity and Open Position widgets help traders understand the details behind all their trade activity. A quick glance at the Trade Activity widget can help a trader see the status of all their orders. The Open Position widget displays any open positions as well as the profit/loss (P/L).

Traders may open more than one Trade Activity widget for different views. For example, a trader may open two Trade Activity widgets - one set to Open orders and the other focused on Filled orders. 

Note only one Positions widget can be opened in your layout.

Trade Activity Widget

The Trade Activity widget allows traders to view Order History from Today, the last 7 Days, or the last 6 Months. This can be very helpful when reviewing trades or even for personal journaling when you want to see the details for a particular trading day. All Open, Filled, Cancelled, and Rejected Orders are displayed. 

You can open multiple Trade Activity widgets and focus each one on a different Order Status (e.g., one set to Open orders and the other focused on Filled orders).
