Viewing & Closing Positions
How to read your open positions on Ritdex and close them — market or limit close, partial close, close-all, and understanding the position detail row.
Every open trade appears under Positions on the trading screen. This page explains how to read a position, and every way to close one — fully or partially, at market or at a limit price.
Reading the positions panel
The bottom panel groups your account into tabs — Holdings, Positions, Open Orders, TWAP, Trade History and Account History. The Positions tab shows one row per open position with:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Asset | The market (e.g. BTC, TSLA-PERP) |
| Size | Position size and side (long/short) |
| Entry / Mark price | Your average entry vs the current mark price |
| Liq. price | The price at which the position would be liquidated |
| PnL | Unrealized profit or loss (net of fees on close) |
| Margin | Collateral committed, and the leverage used |
| TP/SL | Any attached take-profit / stop-loss |
Positions are account-scoped: the panel only shows positions for the wallet you're currently connected with, so another account's trades never appear against yours.
Closing a position
You can close from the position row:
- Market close — closes immediately at the best available price. Fastest exit.
- Limit close — set a price and the position closes only when the market reaches it (rest it to target a better exit).
- Partial close — enter a smaller size (or %) to take some off and let the rest run.
- Close all — one action to flatten every open position at market. Use to de-risk the whole account fast.
A market close realizes your PnL right away at the current price. A limit close only fills if price reaches your level — if it doesn't, the position stays open, so keep watching it.
Position detail & PnL
Opening a position's detail shows the full picture — entry, mark, liquidation, funding paid/received, and the fee on close. The PnL you see is the realized profit after the trading fee is deducted, so it reflects what actually lands in your balance.
- Add / reduce margin (Isolated) to move the liquidation price.
- Edit TP/SL to adjust your automatic exits.
- Share the position card — see Sharing a Position.
