Positions

The blotter, closing part of a position, managing one, and the two kinds of position Propcockpit did not open.

The blotter

Every open position with its size, entry, stop, target and live P&L, and a net figure underneath. Click a row - anywhere on it - to manage it. Right-click does the same.

Closing

Close asks how much and defaults to all of it. A partial close leaves the rest running with its stop where it was.

Managing

The ticket's Manage tab changes a position that is already open: move the stop, set or move a target, move the stop to breakeven in one press, arm a bar-close level inside the stop, or switch on a broker-side trailing stop.

A stop loss can be moved and can never be cleared. The protocol has no way to express removing one, which is deliberate: a screen that could drop a stop by leaving a field empty would eventually do it by accident.

External positions

A position on a Protected account that Propcockpit did not open - one you placed in a cTrader app, say. It is priced and counted against your limits like any other, because the risk engine sees the whole account. What is different is that nothing checked it on its way to the broker.

Unprotected positions

A position with no stop loss. Its risk cannot be put on a number, so Propcockpit never invents one - and while one is open, new orders are blocked, because there is no honest Buffer to check them against. The blotter marks it and offers to set a stop, and that flow keeps working under a Lock and on a stale feed, for the obvious reason.
