Trade history and execution logs

Open and closed trades, execution logs, and how to diagnose an inactive system.

Written by Austin Bouley

Each system's detail page carries two records: what it traded, and what it did.

Trade history

Split into Open and Closed tabs, paginated five at a time.

Open lists positions currently live at your brokerage. Each shows the symbol, position type, entry details, and current status. You can close any of them manually — see Closing a trade manually.

Closed lists completed trades with their entry, exit, and profit or loss. This is your record of what the system has actually produced.

Execution history

A log of every action the system took — entries, exits, adjustments, and errors — each with a timestamp and outcome.

This answers the question people ask most: why hasn't my system done anything? The log usually shows the reason. Common ones include no qualifying trade meeting your delta and DTE criteria, insufficient capital within your allocation, market conditions the system is designed to sit out, or a brokerage connection problem.

Settings history

A read-only record of past configuration changes. Cross-reference this against performance when something shifts.

Reading it together

When performance isn't what you expected, work through in this order: execution history to see what the system tried, trade history to see what resulted, settings history to see whether a change of yours explains it.

Exporting

The full trade record for an account can be downloaded as a CSV from the Brokers page — see Reconnecting an account and exporting trade history. That export covers the whole account rather than a single system.

If a trade looks wrong

Compare it against your brokerage's own records first. Your brokerage is the authoritative source for what was executed. If the two genuinely disagree, contact support with the trade details and we'll investigate.
