Preferences and trade settings

Preferences is how the product behaves rather than how it looks. Three sections, and only the first two write anything today. Every control on the page applies the moment you touch it and reverts if the server refuses, with the reason shown above — a settings toggle that waits on a round trip feels broken, and a silent revert looks like a bug in the toggle.

Timezone

Every timestamp in Alltra is shown in this zone: fill times, session windows, and the day a trade is counted on. Eight are offered — New York, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Sydney.

They are zone names rather than fixed offsets, and that is not pedantry. An offset cannot express daylight saving — New York is five hours behind in January and four in July — so a stored offset would put a whole hour of trades on the wrong day for half of every year.

If your account already carries a zone that is not one of the eight, it is listed at the top labelled “Your saved zone”. That is so the first thing you do on this page cannot silently move you somewhere you never chose.

Performance Date Mode

Trading Day Rollover groups P&L by the trading session rather than by the calendar day, so an evening or overnight trade lands on the day you actually traded it. Futures roll at the CME open. Underneath the switch is a read-only summary: an On/Off badge, the rollover window built from the time stored on your account, and the session windows per asset class.

• Futures — your own rollover time — the one window on the list you control.
• Stocks — 9:30 AM → 4:00 PM ET.
• Crypto — the calendar day in your own timezone.
• Forex — 5:00 PM → 5:00 PM ET, next day.
• Options — 9:30 AM → 4:00 PM ET.

The four below futures are stated in the exchange’s own time and do not move with your account. US equities open at 9:30 Eastern whether you are in London or Sydney, so qualifying that list with your zone would misstate it for everyone outside New York. Only the futures row is in your zone, because only that one is built from a value you set.

Trade Fees & Commissions

Designed, and not storable yet. The three controls — Commission Type, Commission Amount and Additional Fees — render disabled and empty above a notice that says commission defaults are not stored on your account, and to enter fees on the trade itself in the meantime.

Empty rather than pre-filled is deliberate. The amount field used to arrive carrying a number, which reads as your commission when nobody has entered one — and a figure you never set, quietly subtracted from every trade, is worse than a blank field with a reason on it.

Fees on the trades you already have are unaffected by any of this. A synced trade carries the fees the broker reported, and a trade you type carries what you enter on it.
