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.
