Trade Log
The Trade Log is the complete record of every trade TTMT has built from your channels' signals. Each row carries an outcome chip — a single coloured label that tells you exactly how the trade ended, from "Won" to "Not Filled" to "Risk Limit Hit" — so you never have to guess what happened. Open any trade to see its full journey: the signal that triggered it, the orders it placed, and the moment-by-moment events that led to its outcome.
What the Trade Log shows
One row per trade — not per order, not per position. A single trade can hold up to 36 orders across its entry layers (the default is 12), but the Trade Log collapses all of that into one row. You drill into a row when you want the order-level detail.
Each row shows:
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Outcome chip | How the trade ended, in plain language (see below) |
| Symbol | The instrument, e.g. XAUUSD |
| Direction | BUY or SELL |
| Channel | Which channel's signal triggered the trade |
| Account | Which trading account ran it (multi-account users only) |
| Open / close time | When the trade started and finished |
| Realized P&L | The locked-in profit or loss |
| Reference ID | The trade's unique ID, trd_xxxxxx — quote this in any support ticket |
If you have more than one trading account connected, an account-context bar sits at the top of the page and scopes the list to the account you're viewing.
Reading the outcome chip
The chip is the heart of the Trade Log. It is not the same as the raw status TTMT tracks internally — it answers one question in plain language: how did this trade actually end? There are nine chips.
| Chip | Colour | What it means | What you should do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Won | Green | The trade closed in profit. | Nothing. |
| Lost | Red | The trade closed at a loss — the stop-loss hit, or it was closed underwater. | Review the signal in your journal. |
| Not Filled | Grey | Orders were placed, but price never reached them, so the trade was cancelled before any position opened. No money was risked. | Nothing — the market never came to your entry. |
| Rejected | Amber | TTMT or your broker declined the trade before it opened — for example an invalid stop distance, a closed market, or a disabled symbol. | Open the trade; the banner names the exact reason and the setting to fix. |
| Closed by Channel | Blue | A follow-up signal from the channel closed the trade (e.g. "close all now"). | Nothing — this was the channel's instruction. |
| Canceled by You | Grey | You closed the trade manually from Live View or the trade detail screen. | Nothing — this was your action. |
| Risk Limit Hit | Red | The trade was closed because your account hit its daily-loss Risk Limit. | See Risk Limits & Halt. |
| No Follow-Up | Grey | An alert-style signal was waiting for its details, the details never arrived in time, and the window expired. | See Execution Modes. |
| Under Review | Blue | TTMT couldn't confirm the final state with your broker yet and is reconciling it. | Wait — the chip resolves itself once confirmation lands. |
The chip is the label you read; behind it sits a raw status that TTMT keeps in sync with your broker. If your broker reports a different outcome shortly after close, TTMT corrects the status — so a chip can update itself within about 30 seconds of the trade closing. The closed_unfilled status, for instance, surfaces as the Not Filled chip.
The old single red "Failed" chip is gone. Most trades that used to read "Failed" were actually "Not Filled" — orders that never triggered. No money was lost and nothing was broken.
TIP
Grey is not bad. A grey Not Filled, No Follow-Up, or Canceled by You chip means nothing went wrong — the trade simply never opened or was closed deliberately. Only the red chips (Lost, Risk Limit Hit) reflect a loss.
INFO
An Under Review chip is temporary. TTMT is confirming the final outcome with your broker; it usually resolves to Won or Lost within a few seconds. On demo accounts this can take a little longer, because demo brokers sometimes drop confirmation messages.
Why the chip matters
Before this taxonomy, one red "Failed" chip covered everything — from "your broker rejected the order" to "price never reached your limit order." Those are wildly different events, but they all looked like a system fault.
In real trade data, more than half of those red chips were just limit orders that never filled. Nothing went wrong: the market reversed before reaching the entry, and the trade was cancelled cleanly with no money at risk. The new chips split that one alarming label into accurate, calm outcomes, so a grey Not Filled never reads like a disaster.
Opening a trade for detail
Click any row to open the trade detail screen. It shows, top to bottom:
- The outcome chip at the top.
- A calm one-line explanation banner. Won and Lost trades show no banner — the chip already says it all. A Rejected chip's banner names the exact reason and points you at the setting to fix (for example, "Invalid stop-loss distance. Adjust your default SL pips in Settings.").
- The originating signal — the channel message TTMT read to build the trade.
- The orders it placed and their fills.
- The trade journey — a timeline of every event from entry to close.
Filtering and finding trades
Narrow the log with the filter controls:
- Date range — limit the log to a period.
- Symbol — show one instrument.
- Channel — show trades from one channel.
- Account — show one trading account (multi-account users).
- Direction — BUY or SELL.
- Outcome / status — show only Won, only Lost, only Not Filled, and so on.
You can also search by reference ID to jump straight to a single trade. When you have more than one account, the account-context bar scopes every filter to the account you're viewing.
Exporting your trades
Export the log as CSV or Excel (XLSX) from the export menu. The export includes an End Reason column (the chip value) alongside the legacy Status column, plus prices, volumes, realized P&L, and timestamps. Use it for tax records, prop-firm reporting, or your own spreadsheets.
Cleaning up your Trade Log
You can soft-delete closed trades to declutter the log. Deleting a trade also removes its positions. Deleted trades move to the Trash, where you can restore them later.
WARNING
Soft-deleting a trade removes it from your log and your performance stats until you restore it. Use it to tidy up — not to hide losses you'll want for tax reporting.
See Trash & Restore for the full rules, including why a position can't be restored on its own.
