Positions
Positions presents an overview of a user’s open positions in trading pairs. It provides information on the percentage of each position against the account, base and quote currencies, risk management, and profit and loss data. Additionally, it shows conversion rates and allows users to close positions as needed, giving them better control over their trades. Positions has the following attributes:

| % | The percentage of the position against all positions in the account: % = (Base × Conv 1 × Conv 2) ÷ (sum of |Base| × Conv 1 × Conv 2 over all positions of the account) × 100. Short positions show a negative percentage. |
| Base | The total amount of the base currency that is bought or sold. If the value is negative – the base is sold. If the value is positive – the base is bought. |
