Benefits of Deleting a Trade

Deleting a trade can be a useful action for several reasons, helping you maintain accurate records and optimize your analysis:

  1. Correcting Errors: If you accidentally entered a trade incorrectly, deleting it allows you to remove the erroneous data and re-enter it accurately, ensuring the integrity of your trading history.

  2. Removing Test or Simulated Trades: For users who might use the platform to simulate trades or test strategies, deleting these non-real entries helps keep your genuine trading performance clear and uncluttered, preventing them from skewing your analytical data.

  3. Streamlining Your Trade History: Over time, your trade list can become extensive. Deleting irrelevant or duplicate entries can help streamline your trade history, making it easier to review, analyze, and focus on the trades that truly matter to your portfolio performance.

How to Delete a Trade

Follow these simple steps to delete a trade from your record:

Step 1: Navigate to the Trades Section

  • On the left-hand side of your screen, locate and click on the "Trades" option in the navigation panel. This will open your complete list of recorded trades.

Step 2: Initiate Deletion

  • Find the specific trade you wish to delete in the list.

  • Right-click anywhere along the row of that trade. This action will typically bring up a context menu with options related to that trade.

Step 3: Select Delete and Confirm

  • From the context menu that appears, select the "Delete" option.

  • A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking you to confirm your decision. This is a crucial step to prevent accidental deletions.

  • Review the confirmation message, and if you are certain you want to proceed, click "Yes, I’m sure" on the dialog box.

Once confirmed, the trade will be permanently removed from your trade history.

Important Considerations:

  • Deleting a trade is a permanent action and cannot be undone. Please ensure you select the correct trade before confirming deletion.

  • Deleting a trade removes it from your records and will impact any calculations or reports that include that trade's data.
