Trading in the terminal
Paper and live orders, streamed marks, percentage exits and position limits.
Markdown versionChoose the wallet and place an order
The Solana terminal has separate Paper and Live balances. Choose the mode, spend in SOL and set maximum slippage. Entries are currently limited to $1–$50 at execution; fees and temporary token-account rent need additional funds. Live buying is enabled only when server execution is available.
Accepted, queued, pending and filled are different states. A click sends the intent immediately, but a live transaction must still obtain a fresh executable quote, pass wallet and signing checks and confirm on chain. Paper orders model execution delay, adverse price movement and costs rather than awarding an instant chart-price fill.
Sell some or all of a position
Choose a holding if there are multiple positions in the same token. Presets include 3%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50% and all; custom sales accept whole percentages from 1% to 100%. Each distinct click queues another sale of the confirmed remaining holding, not the original size.
Orders in one account and mode settle in sequence. Reconnecting or retrying the same request does not create a second transaction. You can cancel a queued order, but cannot recall an already submitted transaction. The queue holds at most 20 outstanding orders; an order still queued after two minutes expires without submission.
If acceptance is unverified, check Orders and the Ledger or use Retry same request. Do not assume that a disconnected request failed, and do not submit a replacement with a new identity.
Read P&L without mistaking a mark for a fill
Terminal P&L uses accepted price ticks from the same stream as the chart and pushed account inventory after settlement. Out-of-order ticks cannot rewind the mark. A disconnected stream or a price older than one second is labelled rather than presented as current.
Mark P&L includes recorded entry costs and realized results, but excludes the future sell’s fees and price impact. It is not an executable sale quote or guaranteed profit. Provider coverage, internet latency, slippage, liquidity and on-chain confirmation can change the actual sale proceeds.
Set take profit and stop loss
Manual entries can have an optional stop loss from −90% to −1% and take profit from 1% to 1,000%. Position limits lets you edit or clear these for an open manual position. Bot-managed positions retain their graph’s exit rules; edit those in the node graph instead.
Protection runs on the server, not only while the terminal is open. These are triggered market exits, not guaranteed price fills. Thin liquidity, unavailable quotes or gaps can prevent execution or fill beyond the trigger price. Slippage for a discretionary order does not change the existing strategy’s automatic-exit policy.
