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, cancel a pending order, or set a whole channel's positions to breakeven at once.
Unlike the historical logs, Live View is right-now only — the moment a trade closes it leaves this page and lands in the Trade Log, with its individual fills in the Position Log.
The three layouts
Live View gives you three ways to look at the same live positions. A layout switch in the header flips between them, and your choice is remembered — the page reopens in whichever layout you left it in.
| Layout | What it's for |
|---|---|
| By Channel (default) | Positions grouped into a card per channel, so you see at a glance which channels are working for you today. |
| All Trades | Every position in one flat list, sorted worst P&L first, so the trade needing attention is always at the top. |
| Table | The classic detailed table — every column, dense, best on a wide screen. |
Whichever layout you pick, the underlying data is identical and updates live. The layout only changes how it's arranged.
By Channel — the default grouped view
Each channel becomes a card summarising its open positions: how many are running, their combined floating P&L, and a compact list of the positions themselves. A single Close all action on the card header closes every position in that channel group at once — the fast way to flatten one channel's exposure without touching the others.
Tap a position on a card to open a drill-down sheet — a quick summary of that one position with its Close and Set BE actions. Open the position fully (or click through from the sheet) to reach the complete trade detail modal with the trade's whole journey.
All Trades — worst P&L first
All Trades drops the grouping and lists every open position in one column, sorted so the deepest-red position sits at the top. When you have a lot open and want to know what needs managing first, this is the view — the trade in the most trouble is always where your eye lands.
Table — the legacy detailed view
The Table layout is the original dense grid: symbol, direction, volume, entry, current price, live P&L, stop-loss, take-profit, and breakeven/trailing state, with row actions on each line. It's the most information-dense view and reads best on desktop.
Position actions
Every position — in any layout — carries the same two actions:
- 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.
Pending orders
Orders that haven't filled yet appear grouped by the trade they belong to. One trade from the adaptive engine can place a stack of staggered limit orders — the exact count depends on your size and your broker's lot rules, capped at 36 in total — 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 your open positions.
- 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.
Group and bulk breakeven
Two levels of one-click breakeven live here:
- Close all on a By Channel card flattens that channel's positions.
- Set All Breakeven 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.
Live price freshness and trust states
Live View is honest about how fresh each number is. Prices stream from your broker, and when a tick is a moment behind or a value is still being confirmed, the page tells you rather than pretending the number is final.
- Fresh — the price is streaming live. A stale indicator appears on any position whose last tick is older than expected, so you never act on a frozen number by mistake.
- Settling — a position that just changed (opened, partially closed, or had its stop moved) while TTMT confirms the final figures with your broker. The number you see is provisional for a beat.
- Provisional — a P&L or price figure TTMT is showing you before the broker's authoritative value lands. It resolves to the confirmed figure on its own.
These states are UI aids that keep you from acting on a number that isn't final yet — they are not a sign anything is wrong with your trades. Your stop-losses and take-profits sit on the broker regardless of what the screen shows.
INFO
A Settling or Provisional badge means TTMT is confirming a figure with your broker, not that your trade is in danger. Give it a second and the confirmed number lands.
A connection indicator in the header reflects your live broker link — Live, Connecting, Reconnecting, or Disconnected. If the connection is reconnecting, an amber "Synchronizing with broker…" banner appears and position data may briefly lag; past 30 seconds a Refresh button appears to force a fresh pull.
When the market is closed
When your broker's market for a symbol is closed, Live View shows a neutral idle state — not an error and not a lost connection. Open positions still show, but prices don't tick because the market isn't trading. A reopening countdown tells you when the session comes back.
A closed market is a normal, expected state. It does not mean your trades are at risk, and it does not mean TTMT has lost its connection.
WARNING
A market-closed idle state and its reopening countdown are informational. They are not an execution guarantee — a signal that arrives while the market is closed is skipped immediately, not held for reopening. See Fast Market Conditions.
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. A badge shows how many external positions are hidden while filtered.
The filter behaves slightly differently by layout: in By Channel and All Trades it hides external positions from the grouped and sorted views; in Table it filters the rows directly. In every case, switching to TTMT Only leaves only the automated positions on screen.
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.
Per-account scope
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 — every layout, every group, the aggregate P&L — is scoped to that active account.
