Portfolio & kill switch
The Portfolio screen is mission control after a trade is live. It shows what you hold, how it is doing, what needs attention, and the emergency stop.
The summary strip
Five tiles across the top:
| Tile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cash | Simulated cash left after fills and costs |
| Gross exposure | Total rupee value of all open positions (longs + shorts) |
| Net Exp % | Net exposure as a percent of the account — how "all-in" you are |
| Realized P&L | Profit/loss already locked in from closed trades (green up, red down) |
| Unrealized P&L | Paper profit/loss on positions still open |
Realized = booked, the trade is done. Unrealized = on paper, it moves every time the mark moves and is not money until you close.
Open positions table
One row per position you hold:
- Symbol, Qty — what and how much.
- Avg entry — the average price you got filled at (includes simulated slippage).
- Mark — the current price the position is valued at.
- Unrealized P&L —
(mark − entry) × qtyfor a long; colored green/red. - Stop / Target — the protective exit levels carried from the thesis.
Empty table = no open positions. That is the normal resting state.
Alerts
The alerts panel polls automatically and lists anything the monitor flags, each with a severity pill:
- stop hit — price reached the stop level.
- target hit — price reached the take-profit level.
- exposure breach — the portfolio is over an exposure limit.
Click Refresh to re-poll on demand. "No active alerts" is good news.
The kill switch (emergency stop)
At the bottom of the Portfolio screen, inside a red-bordered card. This is stage 10 of the pipeline and it is wired directly to a human — it works independently of everything else.
What it does
Engaging the kill switch immediately:
- Flattens every open position (sends paper exit orders for all of them).
- Blocks all new orders until you reset it.
Every emergency exit still routes through the audited order path, so the action is fully logged.
How to engage it
- Make sure your token is set in the header.
- Enter your Trader ID.
- Tick Flatten all and block new orders?
- Click Engage Kill Switch.
A red KILL SWITCH ENGAGED banner then appears at the top of every page.
Resetting
When the situation is handled, click Reset Kill Switch (on the banner or the Portfolio card). New orders are allowed again. Positions that were flattened are not re-opened — reset only lifts the block.
Use the kill switch any time you want to stop the system cold. In paper mode it costs nothing to practice with, and practicing is the point.
