OQIRON
Orders and open positions are not the same thing
An order is a buy or sell request that only affects a position once it has been successfully executed. Customer order history displays only orders that can be attributed to the Oqiron system and have been successfully executed; candidate signals, failed requests, and internal reference numbers are not included in the customer’s trading history.
Realized and Unrealized Gains
Open positions generate unrealized gains or losses as market prices fluctuate; realized results are only determined after positions are closed and settled. Transaction fees, funding rates, slippage, and actual trade volume all affect the final net profit.
What Is Slippage?
Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price. Common causes include rapid market fluctuations, insufficient order book depth, large order sizes, and network or exchange delays. The system assesses slippage risk but cannot guarantee that any order will be executed at the price displayed.
When reviewing trading results, verify them in chronological order.
First, check whether the order was submitted; then, review the executed volume and average price; next, examine the resulting position; and finally, assess the net result derived from closing the position, fees, funding rates, and slippage. Focusing solely on the opening price and current price will cause you to overlook whether the order was fully executed and the actual cost.
In fast-moving markets, a single order may be filled in multiple executions, each with different prices and quantities. The system must reconcile these executions with the correct orders and positions before processing exits and fees. As a result, the final results displayed in the client dashboard may lag behind market price changes, but the reconciliation process must not be skipped in the pursuit of speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions are directly related to the content of this article. Answers are based on current platform rules and actual operational standards; however, when it comes to packages, percentages, the scope of available features, or account status, the information displayed on the customer dashboard and official statements shall prevail.
- Why aren’t some exchange orders displayed in system orders? | System orders only display orders that can be confirmed as having been created by Oqiron and that have actually been executed. Manual orders, unexecuted orders, canceled requests, and records with unknown ownership are not displayed as system trades.
- Why Do Page Returns Fluctuate? | Open positions generate unrealized gains or losses, which fluctuate with market prices. Final realized net returns are determined only after positions are closed, fees and funding rates are applied, and reconciliation is completed.
- What Is the Funding Rate, and Why Does It Affect Returns? | Perpetual contracts periodically settle the funding rate between long and short positions according to exchange rules. The direction and amount of the funding rate fluctuate with market conditions and, together with trading fees and slippage, affect the final net return.
