Protections: exit orders received per position
The protections panel lists, for every open position, the loss-side exit and the profit-side exit that the broker actually reports among the working orders. It is a read-only mirror: it places nothing, modifies nothing and cancels nothing.

Where to find it
- Where
- Trading desk, under the position stages (Exit orders received)
- Title on screen
- Exit orders received
- Empty state
- Flat. Nothing to protect.
- Missing exit
- none received — no order of that type in the working-order book
- Actions
- None. The panel sends nothing to the broker.
What it does
For each open position the panel prints one row: the instrument, the side (LONG or SHORT), the quantity, then two references labelled "Loss-side exit" and "Profit-side exit". Each reference carries the price the broker reports and the raw broker status, followed by the filled and total quantity (for example 1/2) or, when nothing is filled, the total preceded by a multiplication sign.
Classification is done by the same helper the chart overlay uses, so the list and the lines on the chart can never disagree. Only an order on the closing side can protect a position: a sell for a long, a buy for a short. An order carrying a stop price is the loss-side leg by construction. A plain limit on the closing side is a profit-side exit only when it sits on the profitable side of the average entry price; a sell limit below a long's entry is classified as a loss-side exit instead, because labelling it a target would invert the risk being read off the screen.
When several protective orders of the same role exist, one only is shown: the one that would be reached first. For a long that is the highest stop and the lowest target; for a short the opposite. The rule is deterministic, so adding a second, more distant stop does not move what the panel shows.
Anything on the closing side that cannot be classified is counted separately and reported as "n other working orders on this side". Rows whose loss-side exit does not carry the same remaining quantity as the position are marked, because a stop for one contract on a position of three leaves two uncovered.
What each field reports
| Setting | Default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Loss-side exit | none received | Price and status of the selected stop, as the broker reports it |
| Profit-side exit | none received | Price and status of the selected limit sitting in profit |
| Quantity suffix | ×<total> | Switches to filled/total as soon as a partial fill is reported |
| Other orders counter | hidden when zero | Counts closing-side working orders not classified as stop or target |
| Quantity mismatch flag | off | Marks the row when the stop's remaining quantity differs from the position size |
| Price formatting | raw broker value | No tick-size rounding is applied; the reported number is preserved |
How to use it
- Read it as a receipt, not as a guarantee: a line means an order was received in the working-order book, not that the broker will fill it.
- Check the quantity suffix after any scale-in or scale-out. An unequal remaining quantity is exactly the case the flag exists for.
- Use the order ticket, the working-orders table or the flatten control to act. The panel itself has no buttons.
- Compare it against the lines drawn on the chart; both are built from the same classification, so a disagreement means a rendering problem worth reporting.
Limits and pitfalls
"None received" is a statement about the working-order book this application has received, not about what the broker holds internally. A gateway that stops publishing does not empty your real risk.
A deliberate scale-out at three separate prices will only ever display one profit-side exit: the nearest. This is a stated consequence of showing a single current protection per role rather than one line per order, which used to produce two or three contradictory stops after a broker cancelled and recreated an order.
Orders on the same side as the position are scale-ins and are never classified as protections. An order with no usable price is skipped entirely, and it never displaces an order that does carry one.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does the panel show only one stop when I placed two?
- Only the protection that would be reached first is displayed, because that is the one defining the real risk. For a long that is the highest stop. The other stop still exists at the broker and appears in the counter of other working orders on that side.
- Does "none received" mean my position is unprotected?
- It means no order of that type is present in the working-order book the application received. That is a strong hint, but the authoritative answer is the broker's own platform. Check there before assuming either way.
- Can I move a stop from this panel?
- No. The panel is read-only by design. Stops and targets are placed and modified from the order ticket, the broker account panel or by dragging the lines on the chart.
