Appearance

Live View ​

The Live View page is your real-time window into what is happening on your trading accounts right now. Every open position, every pending limit order, and every dollar of unrealized profit or loss -- all updating live.

Open Positions ​

The main table shows all positions currently active in the market:

ColumnDescription
SymbolThe traded instrument (e.g., XAUUSD, EURUSD)
DirectionBUY or SELL
VolumeTotal open volume in lots
Entry PriceAverage entry price across filled orders
Current PriceLive market price
SLCurrent stop loss level
TPCurrent take profit target
P&LUnrealized profit/loss including swaps and commissions

Real P&L, Not Theoretical

The P&L shown here includes swaps and commissions, so it reflects the actual money you would net if you closed the position right now. This is more accurate than the "gross P&L" some platforms show.

Pending Orders ​

Below the open positions, you will see any pending limit orders that have been placed but not yet triggered. These are typically the Layer 2, 3, and 4 orders from TTMT's 12-order layered entry strategy.

For example, if TTMT receives a BUY signal and places all 12 orders, you might see:

  • 3 filled positions (Layer 1 -- market execution)
  • 9 pending Buy Limit orders (Layers 2-4 -- waiting for price to retrace)

Each pending order shows its entry price, volume, and the TP level it is assigned to. You can manually cancel a pending order by clicking the cancel icon, though in most cases you should let TTMT manage these automatically.

Aggregate Stats ​

At the top of the page, a summary strip shows:

  • Total Exposure -- Combined volume of all open positions
  • Net P&L -- Sum of unrealized profit/loss across all positions
  • Margin Usage -- How much of your available margin is committed

These numbers update in real time alongside the individual position data.

Kill Switch ​

The kill switch is prominently accessible from the Live View page. In an emergency, you can close positions immediately with two scope options:

  • Close All -- Shuts down every position on the account, including manual trades
  • Close TTMT Only -- Closes only positions managed by TTMT

A confirmation dialog appears before execution. All positions are closed simultaneously, and if one closure fails, it will not prevent the others from completing.

Use the Kill Switch Deliberately

The kill switch is a safety tool, not an undo button. Once positions are closed, they are closed. Make sure you understand the scope you are selecting before confirming.

Synchronization Status ​

Connection Status ​

The Live View relies on a live connection to your broker to keep data up to date. A synchronization indicator shows whether this data is current:

  • Synchronized (green) -- Data is live and up to date
  • Synchronizing (yellow) -- Connection is re-establishing, data may be slightly delayed
  • Stale (red) -- Data has not been updated recently

Staleness Warning Banner ​

If the connection has been disrupted and data is potentially outdated, a prominent staleness warning banner appears at the top of the page. This tells you that the positions and P&L values you see might not reflect the current state on your broker.

Do Not Panic on Staleness Warnings

Brief sync interruptions are normal -- they usually resolve within seconds. The warning is there so you know not to make critical decisions based on potentially outdated numbers. If the warning persists for more than a minute, check your connection status in the header indicators.

Manual Reconciliation ​

Sometimes connections drop, and TTMT's records can fall out of sync with your broker. The Sync with MetaTrader button triggers a full reconciliation:

  • Any positions you opened manually on MetaTrader are detected and added to TTMT's tracking
  • Any positions that were closed on your broker but still showing in TTMT are corrected
  • TTMT briefly pauses trading during the sync to ensure accuracy

Use Sync Sparingly

Syncing takes a moment and briefly pauses trading, so use it only when needed. You should only use it if you suspect a mismatch -- for example, after a prolonged internet outage or if position data looks incorrect. Under normal operation, TTMT keeps itself in sync automatically.
