Ask about a trade

Type in the composer and press Send; Stop ends a running answer. Rows in the reply say what Desk read or did. Web-search sources appear as buttons under the reply, and Copy copies its text.

  • New starts a conversation about the trade on screen in Trades, and a general one elsewhere. Before you send anything, the × on the trade chip makes it general.
  • In a general conversation, Select trade attaches trades as chips. A dashed chip is still loading its details.
  • Click the conversation’s title in the panel header for its history. Delete this conversation is at the bottom of that menu.
  • A trade’s Record tab lists the conversations about it.
  • Any trade in your journal (position, plan, thesis note, activity, scenarios) without you attaching it, and the strategies you wrote.
  • The Trades screen and, in the Journal, the tab on screen, including the Performance report.
  • Quotes for a trade’s contracts, any symbol, option chains, expirations and strikes, and price history with realized volatility, moving averages, ATR, and IV rank and percentile.
  • Your open book summed by underlying, weighted to SPX.
  • The economic calendar, and web search for news.

Desk does not see what the risk graph, the price chart or a workspace shows; attach a screenshot (Images and conversation history).
