The Stop You See Is the Stop That's Live

Your trade log, chart, detail view and exports now show the stop protecting the trade right now, with the signal's original kept and labelled separately.

The Stop You See Is the Stop That's Live

Breakeven moves your stop. Trailing moves your stop. A follow-up message from the provider moves your stop. On an active trade, the number the provider originally posted stops being the number that is protecting you fairly quickly.

The dashboard was showing the original.

So you would open a trade that had gone to breakeven an hour ago, read a stop thirty pips below your entry, and conclude you were risking thirty pips. You were risking nothing. The information was not wrong, exactly. It was answering a question you were not asking.

The trade log, the chart, the trade detail view and the exports all show the stop that is protecting the trade now. The signal's original stop is kept and labelled as the signal stop, in its own column, because it is genuinely useful for comparing what you were offered against what you ended up with.

This pairs with price provenance, which shipped two days earlier. Between them, every price on the screen now says what it is and where it came from.

The five-pip floor, explained properly

A rejected signal used to tell you your stop sat closer to the entry zone than your broker's minimum stop distance allowed.

No broker was involved in that decision. The limit is ours, a five-pip floor, and the message was pointing at the wrong culprit. One customer spent hours debugging two different brokers looking for a restriction that did not exist on either of them.

The message now names the real cause, which is usually entry layers consuming the zone, and suggests the fixes that work: fewer layers, or a narrower zone. It no longer suggests widening your default stop, which would have moved your targets along with it and quietly changed the trade.

The activity timeline stopped telling everyone the same story

The timeline used to say the same thing on every trade: Layer 1 executed immediately at market, layers 2 to 4 are limit orders waiting.

Across 639 trades, 439 had placed no market order at all and 139 had placed no limit orders. The layer count is yours to set, so "layers 2 to 4" was wrong for anybody not running four. It was a template pretending to be a description.

It now describes the orders that were actually placed on that trade.

Auto-Correct reads the same everywhere

Auto-Correct is described identically in the tooltip, the settings section, the profile editor and the API. It had four descriptions.

The "(Recommended)" tag is gone from it. The default is unchanged, so nothing about your configuration moved. We took the tag off because a recommendation on a setting that modifies your prices should come from you understanding what it does, not from a badge.

Billing

Your upcoming charge separates the one-off proration from the amount that recurs each month, so an upgrade stops looking like a permanent price rise.

Buying extra account slots now warns you when the next plan up would cost less than the slots you are about to add.

If Stripe could not be reached, the upcoming charge card used to say "No upcoming charges", which told a paying customer they owed nothing. It now says the amount could not be loaded and offers a retry.

If you hold subscriptions in two currencies, each gets its own row. They were being added into a single number that meant nothing.

Accounts

Account cards still showing a live broker connection after the broker had dropped it are reconciled against the broker. One was rejecting saved credentials and now says so, so the owner can go and fix the password instead of waiting for something to recover on its own.
