Every signal that reaches your rules gets an answer. Either an order was placed, or it was skipped with a reason. You can see all of it in Autopilot, on the History tab. Open trades are on the Open Positions tab, and My Trades lists trades across your connected accounts.
What each status means
- Filled: the exchange executed the order.
- Submitted or pending: the order was sent and is waiting at the exchange.
- Skipped: no order was placed. The Notes column says why.
- Failed: the order was sent but the exchange refused it, for example because of too little balance or an order below the exchange's minimum size.
- Cancelled: the order was withdrawn before it filled.
Common reasons for a skip
- This rule doesn't take that kind of signal. You did not tick that feed in the profile.
- No connected exchange can trade it. A share signal reached a profile that only has a crypto exchange.
- Not enough cash in the right currency. Swyftx, for example, buys with AUD, USD or NZD, so a balance held only in USDT cannot pay for the order.
- The exchange doesn't list the coin.
- A limit was reached: most open at once, trades per day, the daily loss cap, a cooldown on that coin, or you already hold it.
A skip is not an error. Most of the time it is your own limits doing their job. When a skip is not what you wanted, the reason tells you the fix: tick the feed, connect an exchange that trades that asset, move cash into the currency the exchange needs, or change a limit.
Practice trades
Trades in paper mode show in the same places, so you can read a week of practice the same way you will read live trading. If something keeps getting skipped in practice, fix it there before you go live.
Make it a habit
Look at History once a day for the first two weeks. Count the fills and the skips, and read the reasons. You will learn more about your setup from that list than from any chart.
