Positions, orders and balances

What you hold, what you asked for, and what you have.

Trading on margin can lose you more than you put in. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future results. Cloud9Trader provides tools and education, not financial advice. Read the full risk warning.

Where they appear

Section titled “Where they appear”
  • Platform panels and the Exchange screen show live tables for every account you have: connections added in Exchange API Keys, broker accounts connected on the accounts page, and your demo account. You only ever see your own demo account.
  • A trading session’s page, and an algorithm’s Overview, show the positions its sessions opened, with profit and pips over time.

Positions and orders on your broker connections are kept in Cloud9Trader’s history from 12 November 2026, so a closed one stays in the closed list. Earlier history is on your broker’s own site. Demo positions appear on session pages and in the Overview. Demo positions close from their session, and broker accounts connected on the accounts page are shown but not traded from these screens: an order or Close Position for them is refused for now. To trade by hand, add the broker in Exchange API Keys.

Positions

Section titled “Positions”

Each row shows the instrument, direction, quantity, open price and time, stop loss, trailing stop and take profit, and, once closed, the close price and time, pips and profit in your account currency. A stop or take profit the broker refused reads Rejected.

  • Close Position asks you to confirm, then sends the close to your broker. The row moves to the closed list when the broker confirms. If the broker refuses, you see why. If no answer comes within five seconds, you see a warning that the position may have closed: check the list before you try again. Closing OANDA positions this way is not working at the moment, so the warning is what you will see; close them on the broker’s own site. Crypto exchange rows have no Close Position; close those on the exchange’s own site.
  • Delete on a closed position removes it from every history view, including session totals and the algorithm’s track record. It cannot be undone.

Orders and fills

Section titled “Orders and fills”
  • Active Orders are working orders: new or partly filled. Orders keeps the history: filled, cancelled and rejected.
  • Fills lists each trade the exchange made for you, with price and quantity. OANDA does not report fills; their position rows are the record.
  • A pop-up tells you when an order is placed, cancelled or filled. There is no notification history.

Balances

Section titled “Balances”

One row per account and currency: balance, equity, available and used funds, unrealized profit and the value in US dollars. If a connection fails, a warning above the table says which and why. If a margin call happens, a pop-up warns you that open positions will be closed.
