The Trades page can show your trades three ways. Cards and List are built for scanning many trades at once. Detail is the opposite: it puts one trade under a microscope.

Pick it from the Cards | List | Detail buttons at the right end of the toolbar at the top of the Trades page. Your choice is remembered, so the page opens the same way next time.

How it's laid out

The screen splits in two.

On the left is a slim list of your trades — one short row each, so you can see the whole day at a glance. Every row shows:

• The contract in plain form, like QQQ 8/21 760P
• A coloured dot for the strategy that opened it
• Whether it's Active or Closed
• Its profit or loss in dollars and percent
• A small bar, the same one you see on a trade card: it fills to the right in green as the trade gains, and to the left in red as it loses

At the top of that list is an Active | All switch. Active narrows it to positions that are still open. All adds today's closed trades underneath them.

On the right is everything we know about whichever row you've clicked.

When you first open Detail view it selects your top open position automatically. If nothing is open, it picks the trade you closed most recently — so there's always something on screen.

Tip

On a phone the screen is too narrow to show both halves side by side, so it shows the list first. Tap a trade to open it, then use ← All trades to come back.

What's on the right side

The header names the trade: the contract, the strategy, which broker ran it, and whether it's open or closed. Beside those you'll find when it opened, when it closed, how many contracts, and the slippage — the gap between the price the signal quoted and the price your bot actually got. A green number means you got filled better than the alert; a red one means you paid up.

The trade card sits below it — the exact same card you'd see in Cards view, with every control it normally has. You can move your stop, set a profit target, scale in, arm an Auto-Exit, or close the trade right here. Nothing is read-only just because you're in Detail view.

Trade Record at the bottom holds the paperwork: the trade's ID, whether automation or you opened it, options or futures, and the order numbers. If a trade's numbers were corrected against your broker statement, it says so in plain English there.

The alert behind the trade

This is the part you can't get anywhere else on the Trades page.

When a signal source alerts a contract, we capture a snapshot of that moment. The Alert Source panel shows you that snapshot for the trade you're looking at — so you can see what the setup looked like when the bot decided to act, not just how the trade turned out.

It's grouped into four blocks:

• Signal — the exact time the alert fired, which strategy sent it, the direction, and the price it was quoted at.
• How It Played Out — the best the contract ever got (Peak), the worst it dipped (Max Drawdown), its high and low, and where it finished. This tracks the alert, which is not the same as your trade: the alert may have peaked at +80% long after your stop took you out at −30%.
• Contract at Alert — the option's own numbers at that instant: delta, implied volatility, open interest, the day's volume, put/call ratio, and how wide the bid-ask spread was.
• Market Conditions at Alert — the wider backdrop: conviction and sentiment scores, relative volume over several windows, and how many days until that company reports earnings.

If the signal source published a chart with the alert, it appears at the top of the panel. Click it to enlarge.

Here's the kind of thing it tells you. Say your bot took QQQ 8/21 760P at $2.10 and stopped out at $1.47 for a $63 loss. The panel might show the alert fired at 10:22 AM with a bid-ask spread of $0.14, open interest of just 380 contracts, and relative volume of 0.6 — a thin, quiet contract. Peak on the alert was +4%. That's a very different story from a loss on a busy contract with a penny-wide spread, and it's the sort of pattern worth noticing across a week of trades.

Note

Not every trade has an alert behind it. If you opened the trade yourself on the Hybrid Trade page, or it came from a Copy Trade broadcast, there's no signal alert to show and the panel says so. Very old trades may predate alert tracking too.

Warning

Numbers in the Alert Source panel describe the signal, not your account. Your fill price, your stop and your profit or loss can all differ — that's exactly what the slippage figure in the header is there to show you.
