Understanding the "My Position" Widget of Altrady

The My Position widget of Altrady organizes your multiple trades into groups. Every time you buy new crypto, a position will be opened and your profit shall be calculated against the current price. If you will buy more, the position will be increased and your break-even point will be adjusted automatically.

On the other side, if you will start selling the crypto, the My Positions widget will update the break-even point accordingly until you fully recover your investment or when you don't have the balance left of what you bought.

In this documentation, you will understand how to:

Activate the My Positions widget
View the positions
Delete the positions
Exit position the LIMIT
Exit position the MARKET
Mark the position as closed

Let's Begin.

How to activate the My Positions widget



To activate the My Positions widget, navigate to the trading terminal of Altrady, hit the Widgets button, and tick the My Positions option from the drop-down menu.







There is no fixed position of the widgets as they can be populated and dragged anywhere on the interface based on the available space and the number of widgets already activated.

The widgets of Altrady can be dragged anywhere on the interface and can be organized by the users to their liking. For more information click here.

Step - 3: For every position, you will be able to view ten metrics -
