# Positions & Orders

> Know where to check live positions, waiting orders, completed trades, and funding activity.

After you place an order, the trade screen gives you separate views for what is **open**, what is **waiting**, and what has **already happened**.

Keeping those states separate makes it much easier to understand your account.

## Positions

A position is market exposure you currently hold.

Use **Positions** to check the positions that are still live and how they are performing.

Depending on the market and account state, the position view can include information such as:

* market
* long or short direction
* position size
* entry price
* current or mark price
* unrealized P\&L
* leverage
* margin
* liquidation-related information

The exact fields shown can vary by interface.

## Open orders

An open order has been submitted but has not fully executed yet.

Common examples:

* a limit order waiting for your price
* a conditional order waiting for its trigger
* a TP/SL order waiting for its exit condition

If you no longer want the order, cancel it from the open-orders view.

## Trade history

Trade history records executed trading activity.

Use it when you want to confirm whether an order actually filled, review execution, or understand how a position changed.

## Funding

In Pro mode, **Funding** has its own activity tab.

Funding is separate from trade execution. It is a periodic payment associated with perpetual positions and can add to or subtract from the account over time.

## A useful habit

After every order, answer these three questions:

1. **Did it fill?**
2. **What position do I now have?**
3. **Are there any open orders I forgot about?**

That quick check prevents a surprising number of trading mistakes.
