Positions window

Last updated
The Positions window contains data that displays the current state of the positions in your account. The Positions window can be opened by selecting the Main menu item: Trade - Positions.
This window contains data from the broker/exchange without any changes. In some cases (for example, crypto exchanges), we calculate the valuation in bitcoins. This also applies to blocks that use this data (passing this data to the agent), for example, Portfolio estimation.
By the way, the portfolio estimation in the laboratory is calculated based on the position according to the formula: Portfolio estimation = money + positions.
If the information in the window differs from what the broker broadcasts in some other place (in another program), please contact our support service. To find the causes of data inconsistencies, we need:
Program log and broker log (if it is possible to request a log from a broker). Access to the folder with logs of the TSLab program can be obtained from the Main menu: Tools - Log folder;
Screenshots of the window from the application, which displays data other than TSLab data.
The toolbar of the "Positions" window contains the buttons "Orders Manager", "Close position/Cancel all orders", "Cancel orders". To activate the button, select the line with the position.
Order Manager - Opens the Order Manager window for the selected instrument;
Close Position/Cancel All Orders - Closes a market position and cancels current active orders for the selected instrument;
Cancel orders - Cancels the currently active orders for the selected instrument.
The data in the Positions table can be sorted using the built-in filtering system. You can access the filters by clicking on the special button located in the header of the table.
There are 4 account states in the Positions window:
Long position (by default, they are highlighted with a green background);
Short position (by default highlighted in red);
Position in money - your money on the account of the exchange / broker (by default, they are highlighted with a yellow background);
Neutral position is a closed position that has previously been traded (highlighted with a white background by default).
You can show or hide the columns you need by clicking on the table header with the right mouse button, or by selecting the appropriate menu item in the Positions window properties.
