​

Portfolio Overview

Navigate to VTrade → Portfolio from the left sidebar to access your portfolio dashboard.

​

Account Summary Metrics

The top section displays key account-level metrics in real-time: A color-coded margin utilization bar provides immediate visual feedback:

• Green (0–50%) — Conservative allocation, ample buying power remaining
• Amber (50–80%) — Moderate concentration, reduced flexibility
• Red (80–100%) — High concentration, approaching position limits

​

Positions Table

Below the summary, the positions table displays every open holding with granular detail: Row Interaction:

• Click the expand arrow (▶) on any position to reveal:
  • Complete entry history (individual fills with timestamps and prices)
  • Partial close history (any lots already sold)
  • Realized P&L from partially closed lots
  • Position-level analytics (beta contribution, sector classification, correlation to benchmark)
• Click the symbol to navigate directly to the Trading Desk for that instrument
• Click the close (×) icon to initiate a position close order

​

Allocation Visualization
