Trades and positions

Trade groups, what each status means, Flatten's scope, and partial closes.

Every copy Trepeat makes is recorded, successful or not. Trades are shown in groups: the trade you placed on the source account, and each repetition made from it. A group is the unit you read and the unit you act on.

On a wide screen every figure has its own column. In a narrower window (under 1,840 pixels wide) the row folds them: Trade reads the symbol, side and quantity, with the entry and exit prices under them, and Outcome shows the status and how long the position was open under its badge. The filters and sorts for those columns are in the Trade and Outcome headers. Under 1,280 pixels each trade is a card.

What a row can say

A copy's row has one of four statuses: Filled, Failed, Pending or Skipped.

  • Filled — the order was placed and the broker confirmed it.
  • Failed — not placed: the broker refused it, or the follower was not connected or did not confirm in time. The row keeps the reason, and an alert is raised.
  • Pending — Trepeat has just received the source fill and is recording it. Brief in normal use.
  • Skipped — not copied because the sized quantity was below the follower broker's minimum, or source equity was zero in Equity ratio mode. Symbols outside the allowlist and paused followers leave no row.

A closed trade also carries an outcome — Win, Loss or BE, or Unknown when it cannot be worked out — and, where the close did not come from the source, how it was closed: Flattened for a close through the Flatten button, and Manual close for one you made by hand in the broker terminal. Those three origins are recorded separately on purpose, so reconciling a week is reading rather than reconstructing. A position on an account Trepeat can no longer reach is marked Disconnected.

Finding a copy at your broker

Each repetition shows the source's ticket, the follower position it opened, and its order tag — a trepeat- code the follower's terminal shows as the order comment — so a row can be matched to the line in either terminal. The same ids are in the export. Copy latency is the time from Trepeat receiving the source's fill to the follower's broker confirming the copy; it does not include the time the source's own broker took to report the fill.

Hover a copy's quantity to see how it was sized: the contract-size conversion between the two brokers, then your own sizing (multiplier or equity ratio, any symbol ratio, rounding and limits). The repeater's settings shown there are its current ones, which may have changed since the trade.

A failed copy is kept, not hidden

A refused order stays in the list with its reason. This is deliberate: the most useful thing after a failed copy is knowing it failed and why, and a list that only showed successes would be quietly wrong about your exposure.

Flatten

Flatten closes the source trade and every copy of it. Trades Trepeat isn't copying are never touched. That is checked on the server before the request is accepted, not only in the interface. It works on one group at a time, and the confirmation says exactly how many positions it will close before you commit.

Flatten needs a live connection. If an account is disconnected its position cannot be closed from here — reconnect it, or close that one at the broker. Positions on an account you have deleted can only be closed at the broker, since Trepeat no longer holds the connection at all.

Partial closes

Closing part of a source position closes the same proportion of each copy, leaving the rest open. The group stays open and shows how much has been closed.

If that share, scaled to a follower, is smaller than the smallest trade the follower's broker accepts, Trepeat closes that follower's whole copy instead, and an alert says so: the source keeps the rest of its position while the follower is flat.

If Trepeat does not yet know the follower instrument's contract size it declines the partial rather than guessing, because the alternative — closing more than was asked — cannot be undone. It does not retry: an alert tells you the copy is still at its full size, so you can close that part on your broker.

What closing does not do

Stopping a repeater is not closing. Stop ends copying and leaves every open position exactly where it is, on both the source and the followers — see Running, Stopped and open positions for what each state does to positions already open.
