A short position on NVDA in the Mochatrade terminal, from opening it to checking the order history.

## 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:
- Market and limit order controls
- Bid and ask prices, the spread, order book and depth
- Position size, entry price, mark price and liquidation price
- Margin, leverage, profit and loss (P&L), and funding fees
- 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.
