View the Order and Position Details

You can view the position or order details below the order zone and order book by tapping on the Positions tab. If your order has yet to be executed, its details will appear in the Orders tab, where you may cancel or modify the order if necessary.

Alternatively, you can access this information by going to More → Copy Trading → Trader’s Center and tapping on the Orders icon.

You can view the details By Order or By Contract. The By Order tab displays each order placed, while under the By Contract tab, all orders for the same trading pairs opened in the same direction are consolidated into one (1) position. The position’s Average Entry Price, Order Quantity, Mark Price, and Liquidation Price are displayed from a position’s perspective. It will be reset only when the respective direction of position is fully closed.

The unrealized P&L on both tabs is calculated based on the order entry price. For more information, please refer to FAQ — Copy Trading.

Set TP/SL

Step 1: To place a Take Profit/Stop Loss (TP/SL) order when initiating a trade, tap on the + TP/SL button from the order zone.

Alternatively, once the order has been placed, you can tap on the Set TP/SL button of the relevant order in the Positions tab.

Please note that TP/SL orders can only be placed on each order separately. For open orders, the TP/SL function will be visible when clicking on the Modify button.

Step 2: Enter your TP/SL price manually, or set your TP/SL based on the ROI percentage. You can set your desired ROI via the sliding percentage bar or the input field.

By default, the TP/SL trigger parameters are set based on the ROI (%). To switch to other parameters, simply tap on the dropdown menu above each Trigger Price field and set the parameters to either By Change (%) or By P&L. You can also select the reference price to trigger your TP/SL — Last Traded Price, Mark Price, or Index Price.

Cancel Order or Close Position

You can cancel your limit order via the Orders tab located below the order zone and order book. Please note that if you click on the Cancel All button, all active orders for all trading pairs will be canceled.

To close a position, go to the Positions tab and you can close by Limit or Market order. If you want to close using other strategies such as conditional order, you can either utilize our built-in TP/SL function (for Hedge mode) or place it from the order zone in One-way mode.

Additionally, you can place a closing order directly from the order zone under the Hedge Mode. Simply fill out the order information and click on Close Short/Long depending on the direction you wish to close. The current position quantity will be shown in the top right corner of each closing button.

Notes:

— The Close All button will close all your orders with a Market order, whereas closing orders separately allows you to choose between a Market and a Limit order.

—The Close By function can only close a position with a Market and Limit order. Conditional orders are not supported.

— When a Limit open order is partially filled, you need to cancel the active order before closing the position.

— Once a Master Trader’s position in a trading pair is liquidated, all positions in the corresponding trading pair in the same direction of their Followers will also be closed.

— The Unrealized P&L displayed on the screen is calculated using the difference between the position's average entry price and last traded price.
