My Positions: tracking the orders you place yourself
Recording an order you placed yourself in the exchange app, editing it in place, liquidation, stop and target alerts, the live TP / SL advice and net PnL after fees and funding.
What a manual position is
Most people place orders in their exchange app, not through the tool. My Positions (sidebar: Positions) lets you record such an order so the tool watches it live: PnL, distance to liquidation, your stop and targets, the consensus turning against you and crash levels on the pair.
Nothing here sends orders. It is a guard, not an executor. Trades opened by a trading account (demo, paper or live auto-trading) are managed on the Trading page instead; see Exchange trading accounts.
Recording a position
Two ways:
- Mark as taken on a signal panel or a signal popup.
- + Add position manually at the top of the Positions page (for any trade, including one you opened from a Pair Model call).
All open the same form:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Symbol, Side | Prefilled from the signal (type them in for a manual entry). |
| Entry price | Exact fill price from the exchange. The live button copies the current price. |
| Leverage, Margin USDT | Leverage set on the exchange and the collateral (isolated margin). PnL percent is measured against the margin. |
| Liq. price | Estimated from side, entry and leverage (isolated margin) until you edit it; marked est. The figure your exchange shows wins: copy it here. auto returns to the estimate. |
| Stop-loss, TP1, TP2 | Prefilled with the plan's tight stop and targets. |
| Exchange, Notes | MEXC, Bybit, Binance or other; free text. |
The line under the fields shows the implied quantity, notional and the liquidation distance from entry. Save with Save LONG … or Save SHORT …. From a card the page then navigates to Positions.
The open positions table
Every cell with a dashed underline is editable: click, type, press Enter (or click away) to save, Escape to cancel. Editing entry, leverage or side re-estimates the liquidation price unless you set it yourself, and every change re-arms the alerts.
Columns: entry, live price, PnL % of margin (price move x leverage), PnL $, leverage, margin, liquidation price, Liq. progress bar, SL, TP1, TP2, Advice, exchange, opened, source (consensus, signal or manual), notes and actions. The four tiles above summarise open count, total margin, live PnL and the worst liquidation distance.
The Liq. progress bar shows how far the loss has travelled towards liquidation; the label is the distance in percent of price. At 75% or more the row turns red and pulses, as does the holding badge in the pair's widget header.
Updates arrive over the WebSocket every three seconds; REST polling takes over when the feed is silent (the header says live or polling).
Alerts
Each alert fires once per position until the condition clears:
| Alert | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Position at risk (warning sound) | Loss is 50% of the way to liquidation. |
| LIQUIDATION DANGER (siren) | 75% of the way. Both re-arm once the loss recovers below 40%. |
| Stop-loss level reached | Price crossed your stop. If the exchange stop did not trigger, close manually. |
| Take-profit 1 reached | Suggests partial profit and moving the stop to break-even. |
| Take-profit 2 reached | Full target done. |
| Market turned against your long/short | The analysis on the pair now points the opposite way with real conviction. |
| Crash warning/critical while you hold a LONG | Crash level on the pair; the crash popup lists the position. |
| Take-profit suggestion | The live advice differs clearly from your TP1 (at most every 30 minutes unless the suggestion moves). |
Popups about a position carry a Your position block and an Open positions page button.
Advice column
Shortly after the first live tick each open position gets a TP suggestion and, when possible, an SL suggestion, with the reason on hover. The target suggestion looks at the typical move after past correct calls on the pair, the nearest strong level ahead (volume node or swing), the measured target of a confirmed pattern in your direction and the analog forecast. When the consensus leans against your position the nearest target is chosen and an against badge shows. The stop suggestion moves to break-even once the trade is comfortably in profit; otherwise it sits beyond the last swing and outside the typical wobble of similar past situations. Apply writes the suggestion into TP1 or SL. Suggestions are information, not instructions.
Closing and deleting
Close opens a dialog prefilled with the live price; enter the real exit price, pick a reason (manual, stop-loss hit, TP1 hit, TP2 hit, liquidated, other) and click Close position. The result (PnL % of margin and USDT) moves to Closed positions, which keeps a running win rate and total PnL. Delete removes the record without computing a result.
Note: the tool cannot see your exchange account. If you close on the exchange, close the record here too, or the alerts keep watching a position that no longer exists.
Fees, funding and net PnL
Exchanges charge fees and funding on the leveraged notional of a perpetual position, not on your margin. A 20 USDT margin at 50x is a 1,000 USDT position: a 0.02 % fee on open and on close costs 0.40 USDT, and a single 0.1 % funding settlement costs 1.00 USDT. This is why a 6 USDT gross profit can become 4.2 USDT on the exchange statement.
The positions table therefore shows four money columns:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PnL $ | Gross unrealised profit from the price move alone. |
| Fees | Entry fee already paid plus the expected exit fee, at the rate of the exchange you selected (maker or taker, chosen in the position form as Entry fill / Exit fill). |
| Funding | Funding settled since the position opened, at the exchange's own funding-rate history (MEXC, Bybit and Binance publish different rates). Hover to see the number of settlements, the current rate and the next settlement time with its estimated cost. |
| Net $ | Gross minus fees minus funding: the amount the exchange will actually credit. Hover for the break-even price. |
The fee schedule per exchange is under Trading > Settings > Global risk settings (exchange fees). The defaults are the regular public tiers; if you have a VIP tier or a fee-token discount, enter your own rates as fractions (0.0002 = 0.02 %). Funding is not a setting: the tool fetches it from the exchange for every open position every few minutes.
Tip: the Take position form shows the estimated round-trip fees, the next funding cost and the break-even price before you save, so you can see whether a short-horizon trade can pay for its own costs.
