Manually Closing a Position on TradersPost: What Data Shows in the Backend?

For TradersPost users who occasionally close positions manually outside of the platform (e.g., through a broker’s mobile app), it’s essential to understand how these actions appear in the system’s backend. This guide clarifies what data is logged on TradersPost when a position initially opened by the platform is later closed manually.

Where Manually Closed Position Data Appears

1. Broker Orders Section: When you manually close a position that was initially opened by TradersPost, the closing order will appear under the “Broker Orders” section of the specific broker integration in TradersPost. This reflects the complete transaction history at the broker level, allowing you to see all manually executed orders, even those done outside of TradersPost.

2. Strategy Trades Section: Positions closed manually will not show up under the “Trades” section of your specific strategy in TradersPost. Since the manual action took place outside of TradersPost, the system does not recognize it as part of the strategy’s automated trade history.

Summary of Backend Data Logging

• Broker Orders: Reflects all activity, including manual closings performed outside TradersPost.

• Strategy Trades: Only includes trades executed entirely within TradersPost, as these actions are tracked as part of the automated strategy.

Conclusion

When manually closing a position outside of TradersPost, the order will be visible under “Broker Orders” but not within the strategy’s trade history. For a fully tracked trade history within a strategy, ensure all open and close actions are done through TradersPost.
