Adding a trade by hand

Not every account can sync, and not every trade arrives cleanly. Add Trade covers both, and a trade you type is the same object as one that synced, it appears everywhere the others do.

Two tabs, one drawer

• Manual Entry: type the trade yourself.
• File Upload: bring in a file of them at once.

Typing one in

Pick the account and the instrument first, Alltra knows the contract behind the symbol, so it sets the tick size and the quantity label for you rather than making you remember them.

• The plain form: one entry and one exit. This is the right shape for almost every trade, and it is what the drawer opens on.
• Advanced Entry: a switch at the top of the form. It adds the timing and fee detail, and it is where Position Scaling lives.
• Position Scaling: a second switch inside Advanced Entry, for a position built or unwound in pieces, several entries, several exits, one trade.

Fixing one later

A trade opens the same drawer for editing, so there is nothing new to learn. If a save is refused, the drawer states it at the top of the form and lists every field the check named, in the words the check used, so you are correcting a named field rather than guessing which one it meant.
