Understanding the "My Position" Widget of Altrady

Introduction

The My Positions widget in Altrady provides a structured view of trading activity by grouping related trades into positions.

When a coin is purchased or sold for the first time, a position can be created and tracked in real time, with profit and loss (PnL) automatically calculated against the current market price. Subsequent orders will adjust the position size and the break-even point will be recalibrated accordingly.

As coins are purchased and sold, the widget dynamically updates the break-even point and PnL, until the initial investment is fully recovered or the position is closed.

How to Manually Create an Open Position

Filtering the My Positions Widget

The My Positions widget can be filtered via the Position types and Accounts filters, to help locate positions easier and quicker.

How to Delete a Position

To delete a position a precondition must be fulfilled:

An Open or Closed position already exists

To delete a position, click on the three vertical dots and select Delete position from the dropdown menu.


The position will be deleted immediately and will no longer appear in the My Positions widget.

Orders linked to deleted positions will be left open and may be filled, unless they are cancelled.

How to Close a Position with a Limit Order

To close a position with a Limit order, a precondition must be fulfilled:

An Open position already exists

Step-1: To close a position with a Limit order, click on the three vertical dots next to the specific position, then select Close position LIMIT from the dropdown menu.


Step-2: A new window will appear on-screen, whereby the price and closing size can be set for the Limit close order. Once ready, click Close position to place the close order.

The available presets can be used to set the price and closing size. A close order with a size lower than 100% will only reduce the position, leaving it open with the remainder.

How to Mark a Position as Closed

To mark a position as closed, there are preconditions that must be fulfilled:

An Open position already exists
The position is a Manual position

Marking a position as closed does not close the position; it only marks it as such. Marking a Long position as closed will not sell any coins that were purchased. Likewise, marking a Short position as closed will not re-buy any coins. Any open orders on the market will remain open.

To learn how to convert a position to manual, refer to the following article and section: Position Management and Controls: Convert to Manual

To mark the position as closed, click on the three vertical dots next to the specific position, then select Mark as closed from the dropdown menu.


The corresponding position will be removed from the list of open positions and will be successfully transferred to the list of closed positions.
