Open Positions

1. Overview​

The Open Positions page provides a comprehensive list of all active trades across the brokerage, allowing risk managers and dealers to track exposure, analyze profitability, and manage market risk instantly and also allows quick switching between different risk models: A-Book, B-Book, and C-Book.

2. Dashboard Statistics​

The top section of the page provides a split-view summary of the brokerage's current exposure:

  • All Open Positions (Left): Displays aggregate metrics for the entire system, including Total PnL (Profit & Loss), Total Volume (in Lots and USD), and the total count of open positions and active accounts.
  • Filtered Open Positions (Right): Displays the same metrics but dynamically recalculated based on the active filters (e.g., showing exposure only for a specific "Gold" symbol group or a specific country).

  • Trade Servers: Select specific platforms (e.g., MT4, MT5).
  • Countries: Filter by client region.
  • Account Groups: Isolate specific client types (e.g., realECN, demoStandard).
  • Trade Reasons: Filter by the origin of the trade (e.g., Client, Robot, Dealer).
  • Symbols / Groups: Filter by specific assets or asset classes.
