Positions
Monitoring open positions in the dashboard
The Positions page shows all open options positions across your portfolios in real time. It is a monitoring and management surface — the dashboard does not support placing new trades. For trade entry, see the main trading app.
Positions Table
Each row in the positions table represents a single open option position. Columns include:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Instrument | Option symbol (e.g. BTC-2024Q1-50000-C) |
| Side | Long or Short |
| Size | Number of contracts held |
| Entry Price | Average fill price in USDT |
| Mark Price | Current model price used for P&L calculation |
| P&L | Unrealized profit or loss in USDT |
| Delta | Position delta (directional sensitivity) |
| Gamma | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | Sensitivity to implied volatility |
| Theta | Time decay per day |
Filtering and Sorting
Use the pair selector at the top of the table to filter positions by underlying asset (e.g. BTC-USDT, ETH-USDT). Click any column header to sort ascending or descending.
Real-Time Updates
Position P&L and mark prices update via the private WebSocket stream. The connection status indicator in the header shows whether the stream is active. If disconnected, values reflect the last received snapshot.
Greeks Display
Greeks are computed from the same Black-Scholes model used by the margin engine. Delta, Gamma, Vega, and Theta are shown at the position level. Portfolio-level Greek aggregates are available in the Risk Dashboard.
Differences from the Trading App
The dashboard positions view is read-only with respect to trade entry. You cannot open new positions here. Closing positions requires either submitting a closing order via the API or using the main trading app. See Managing Positions for the trading app equivalent.
