Your trade settings

Click any option to save it as your default; "your default" marks the saved one. High-Risk shows its fee in amber. Defaults apply to new trades only; you can pick others on any trade, and open trades keep what they opened with.

Your syndicated trades

A searchable list of every trade: opened and closed times, symbol, side, size, entry, exit, peak allocation, result, earnings and move, with ▶ Replay on each. Filter by All, Paid, No earnings or Not syndicated.

The screens come from a demonstration account; prices, sizes and amounts are sample data. Estimates, projections and backtests in the Terminal describe how the Desk behaves. They are not promises of future results. Trading involves risk.
