Appearance

Live View ​

Live View is your real-time trading window. It shows every position that's open right now and every limit or stop order still waiting to fill, with profit and loss updating second by second straight from your broker. From here you can close a position, lock in breakeven, or cancel a pending order — and a single button sets every open position to breakeven at once.

What you're looking at ​

The page has two cards: Live Positions (everything currently open, with live unrealized P&L) and Pending Orders (limit or stop orders that have been placed but haven't filled yet).

A connection indicator in the header reflects your live broker connection — Live, Connecting, Reconnecting, or Disconnected. An aggregate P&L figure shows the combined floating profit or loss of the positions on screen.

If you have more than one trading account, an account-context bar lets you switch which account you're viewing, and everything on the page is scoped to that active account.

The Live Positions card ​

Each open position shows its symbol, direction, volume, entry price, current price, live P&L, current stop-loss and take-profit, and whether breakeven or a trailing stop is active. Two actions sit on every row:

  • Close — closes the position now.
  • Set BE — moves the stop to breakeven (your entry price), so the position can't turn into a loss.

Set BE refuses on a losing position — you can't lock in a loss as "breakeven" — and it's skipped if a trailing stop already gives the position better protection.

Click any row to open the trade detail screen with the trade's full journey.

The Pending Orders card ​

These are orders that haven't filled yet, grouped by the trade they belong to. One trade from the adaptive engine can place a stack of staggered limit orders — up to 36, with 12 the default — so it shows as a single group with its orders listed underneath. Each order has a Cancel action.

A pending order fills only if price reaches it. Until then it sits on your broker costing you nothing.

Cancelling an order (and the three outcomes) ​

When you cancel a pending order, one of three things happens, and the toast tells you which.

  • Cancelled — the order was removed before it filled. Nothing opened. This is the common case.
  • Already filled — price reached the order in the same instant you clicked, so it became an open position. The toast reads "Order already filled." TTMT either reports that the position is now active, or automatically closes it for you when a close-on-fill intent was registered. Check the Live Positions card.
  • Pending broker confirmation — TTMT couldn't confirm the broker's final state inside the request window. The toast says it "will reconcile shortly"; TTMT resolves it in the background. Refresh in a few seconds to see the result.

This is a normal race between your click and the market, and TTMT resolves it safely either way. Without the three-outcome handling, an order that filled the instant you cancelled would have shown a confusing "cancel failed" error while you were actually holding a live position.

Set All Breakeven (bulk safety control) ​

A single button moves every eligible open position to breakeven at once. Use it before stepping away from the screen, ahead of a high-impact news release, or when a batch of trades is in profit and you want to remove their downside.

The result toast summarizes what happened: how many positions were set to breakeven, how many were skipped (already at breakeven, or not yet in profit), and how many failed. Positions that aren't in profit are skipped, not forced — so the action never locks in a loss.

TIP

Set All Breakeven before walking away from the screen or ahead of high-impact news. It only touches positions already in profit, so it never locks in a loss.

For example: NFP releases in two minutes and four positions are in profit. You hit Set All Breakeven and the toast reads "3 set to BE, 1 skipped" — the fourth wasn't in profit yet. Your downside on the three is now removed.

Confirm Actions toggle ​

A switch in the header (shield icon) controls whether actions ask for confirmation first. When on — the default — Close, Cancel, and breakeven actions show a small popover asking you to confirm before they fire, a safety net against an accidental click. When off, actions fire immediately, which power users may prefer for speed. Your choice is remembered.

WARNING

Turning off Confirm Actions makes Close and Cancel fire on a single click. Leave it on unless you're actively managing trades and want the speed.

For example, with Confirm Actions on you fat-finger Close on the wrong row. The popover asks you to confirm, you cancel, and nothing happens — the confirmation caught the mistake.

Trade Source filter (TTMT Only / All) ​

When you also place trades manually in MetaTrader, those positions show up here too. The All / TTMT Only filter — which appears only when external trades exist — lets you hide everything except the trades TTMT manages, so the screen reflects only your automated activity. A badge shows how many external positions are hidden while filtered.

For example, you trade manually in MT5 alongside TTMT and the screen looks cluttered. Switch to TTMT Only and only the automated positions remain, with a "+2" badge showing two manual positions are hidden.

When data looks stale (sync banner) ​

If the live connection is reconnecting, an amber "Synchronizing with broker…" banner appears and position data may briefly lag. If it persists past 30 seconds, a Refresh button appears to force a fresh pull from your broker.

This is the platform protecting you from acting on stale numbers — it is not a sign your trades are at risk.

INFO

A "Synchronizing with broker" banner means TTMT is refreshing your live data, not that your trades are in danger. Your stop-losses and take-profits stay on the broker regardless of what the screen shows.

How this differs from the other logs ​

Live View is right-now only — open positions and unfilled orders. Once a trade closes it leaves Live View and lands in the Trade Log; the individual positions land in the Position Log.
