Paper — every trading figure here (positions, orders, P&L, equity, returns) is simulated on an Alpaca paper account. No real capital is at risk, and no order is ever placed with your money. Running costs shown under ops, such as LLM spend, are real.

What the system actually did — the trades it placed, how they ended, and how your own judgement calls measured up.

What this page shows

The Trades page is the record of real activity: positions currently open, and the full history of trades that have closed. A filter at the top lets you look at a day, a week, a month, a year, or all time.

Reading the closed-trade numbers

  • ·Closed trades— how many trades finished in the chosen period. Open positions aren't counted here; you'll find those on Portfolios.
  • ·Win rate — the share of closed trades that made money. For this style of trading, somewhere around 55–65% is the healthy range. A win rate below 50% over a good number of trades is a signal worth investigating.
  • ·Total profit & loss — the money made or lost over the period. Lots of small results is the healthy pattern; a single huge swing would suggest a position was too big.
  • ·Average win and average loss — the typical size of a winner versus a loser. The aim is for wins to comfortably outpace losses, so that even a modest win rate still adds up to a profit.

Many small losses are healthy

Because every position has a built-in loss limit, losing trades tend to be small and consistent. Seeing a steady stream of little losses among the wins isn't a problem — it's the discipline working exactly as intended.

The discretionary exit review

Sometimes you may choose to close a position yourself rather than let the system's plan run its course. The exit review measures the result of those calls: it compares what your manual exits achieved against what would have happened if you'd left the automatic plan alone.

  • ·A positive figure means your manual exits beat the automatic plan.
  • ·A negative figure means they cost you compared with leaving it alone.
  • ·It only highlights a result once you've made enough manual exits and the difference is large enough to be meaningful — small differences are treated as noise.

The doctrine

This review measures your overrides — it never urges you to make them. Its whole point is to tell you whether stepping in actually helps. The shipped Discretionary Exit Advisor provides a separate, non-binding second opinion on currently held PAPER positions; it cannot close or modify an order.

How to use it

Use Trades for your regular review: is the win rate holding up, are losses staying small, is the account trending the right way? And if you like to step in on exits, let the review tell you — over time — whether your instincts are adding value. To understand the deeper risk rules behind every position, see Portfolios.
