About this lecture

What does a trade look like from opening a position to closing it? Follow an NVIDIA (NVDA) short-position demonstration in the Mochatrade terminal.

Pratham walks through the trading screen, opens a position using leverage and isolated margin, and follows it through to closing and checking the order history.

You'll see:

  1. Market and limit order controls
  2. Bid and ask prices, the spread, order book and depth
  3. Position size, entry price, mark price and liquidation price
  4. Margin, leverage, profit and loss (P&L), and funding fees
  5. Closing a position and reviewing the wallet and order history

Use this lesson as a first look at the full workflow. Later lessons explain the mechanics behind the controls and numbers you see here.

Educational demonstration only. Not investment advice or a recommendation to trade NVIDIA.

Key takeaways

  1. A trade has four stages: open, watch, close, review. The order history is where you review.
  2. A market order takes the price on offer; a limit order waits for yours.
  3. Bid, ask and spread describe the market; entry price, mark price and liquidation price describe your position.
  4. Margin, leverage, P&L and funding fees are the numbers that keep moving while the position is open.

Quiz
