All information about bots' active trades is available on the Active trades page:
A new page with a new interface and statistics can be found on the same Active trades page if you turn on the BETA testing mode on the Settings page:
More information is in this article:
DCA bots: manage bots' trades (BETA mode ON)
This Active trades page has three main blocks:
1. Filters:
You can filter your active trades by choosing Account, Bot, and Pair.
Each of these filters can be applied solely or in combination with other filters.
You can also pick several Accounts, Bots or Pairs to adjust the filters more precisely.
You can clear all filters by clicking on the Clear button.
2. Trading statistics:
Remember - all information and stats in this block are affected by any applied filters from p.1! If you change the filters, the stats and information will also change! To see the entire statistics, you need to Clear all filters!
This block consists of 3 sections:
Overall stats.
This section includes the following information:
Today PnL - profit and losses taken from DCA Bot closed trades (resets to 0 at midnight UTC+0 each day).
PnL - total lifetime profit generated from all closed DCA Bot trades in terms of USD.
Reinvested - the amount from PnL added proportionally to all orders (Base and averaging orders).
Active trades - currently open trades your DCA bots are running.
Funds locked in DCA bot trades - the total amount of funds locked in active DCA Bot trades. This includes only the Bought Volume from base orders and executed averaging orders. It does not include locked/reserved funds for unexecuted averaging orders.
uPnL of active Bot Trades - current total profit or loss for all active trades your DCA bots have open (applied filters affect this parameter).
Completed trades profit.
This section displays the total lifetime PnL (Profit and Loss) in currencies that were set as a profit currency. For example, if you traded ADA/USDT and set the profit in Base currency, ADA, then in this section, you will see how much ADA you have gained (or lost).
Balances.
Here you will see all the QUOTE currencies used in your active trades.
Reserved represents the amount of funds that are locked in the limit orders.
Available speaks for itself - it shows the available amount of QUOTE currency.
3. Active trades block:
More information about the trades
First of all, please pay attention that there are 4 blue parts of the active trade that you can click on, and the information will appear.
Here they are:
a. Name of the bot. By clicking on it, a page with information about this bot will open. Learn more in this article.
b. Trading pair. By clicking on it, the TradingView chart will open. There you can see the executed and placed orders and Average entry price:
c. Exchange. By clicking on it, a new tab with the information about this exchange will open.
d. Trade ID. Clicking on it will redirect you to a page with more details about your trade. The information on this page is very useful and it might be needed if you ever raise with support a question about your DCA bot's trade.
On the Trades tab, you will see all processes (like placing, executing, canceling, etc.) with the trade's orders (like Base order, Take profit order, averaging order or Stop loss order). Here you can see all the information about orders - type, direction, status, sizes, prices and dates with exact time (your local time).
You can also cancel the limit Add Funds order (the so-called manual averaging order) on this tab:
The Orders tab was intended previously to display the trade's orders for old logic and calculation, and some very old trades can still show the orders here, but now all new trade orders are displayed in the Trades tab - placed, pending, executed, or canceled.
On the Bot events tab you will see all trade's logs from the beginning.
Action buttons
Please remember!
Depending on the Trade start or Trade close condition, some action buttons may be unavailable!
1. Cancel.
This button removes all orders for this trade on the exchange and the bot stops working on it. The purchased coins will remain on the exchange, and the service will no longer take any action using them. Among executed trades, this trade will be displayed without calculated profit / loss with the status "Cancelled".
2. Close at market price.
By clicking on this button, it will sell all purchased coins at the market price and the trade gets closed. The profit/loss is calculated and the trade is completed.
3. Reverse bot.
This button allows you to change the bot from Long to Short or vice versa. At the moment, we continue analyzing different mechanics of this switching action, so please always check and adjust the bot settings when clicking this button.
*This button may not be available for bots with Take profit Conditions.
Please note!
This mechanism can work well on a Spot account, but be careful with the "Reverse bot" button if you are trading on a Futures account.
When bots are switched on a Spot account (e.g., from Long to Short), the initial bot is stopped, and the purchased assets are used in the opposite direction in a new bot's configuration.
If you Reverse the Futures bot and the bot's Long trade is not profitable, it will close at a loss. A profitable Short bot trade closed with a profit can stabilize the situation and hopefully bring profit. So, you need to check “both sides of the coin” to see if you are making a profit or loss on the trade.
4. Edit.
Important!
This feature may not be available for bots with Take profit custom conditions.
If you need to edit such a trade, you need to cancel this trade, click on SmartTrade convert button and adjust the settings in the created SmartTrade:
Please remember that unexecuted averaging orders will not be moved to a SmartTrade; you will need to add them manually if needed.
This button allows you to edit some settings of the trade, such as adjusting averaging orders, Take profit parameters (profit currency, calculation type, TP %, adding/reducing Take profit stepsm, Enabling/disabling stop loss and adjusting its values, and other settings:
5. Add Funds.
This button allows you to smooth out the consequences of an unsuccessful trade entry or if you want to add an extra averaging Order. For example, you buy BTC at $30,000, but suddenly the price drops to $28,000. By clicking the Save button, you can create a manual averaging order to help average the selling price of BTC to $29.000, this means that the price doesn't need to recover as much to hit your initial Take Profit target.
6. Smart Trade convert.
Important!
This feature may not be available for bots with Take profit custom conditions.If you need to convert the trade into the SmartTrade, you need to cancel this trade and click on SmartTrade convert button:
Please remember that unexecuted averaging orders will not be moved to a SmartTrade; you will need to add them manually if needed.
This button cancels the trade and creates a Smart Trade with the same exact parameters DCA bot's trade previously had, including Average entry price, Take profit or Stop Loss values, trade size.
However, averaging orders are not copied, so if you have them, you will need to manually add them with the SmartTrade Add Funds feature.
This can also be very useful if you can't edit the trade and want to add more Take profit targets to this trade.
Pay attention!
DCA Take Profit % and SmartTrade Take Profit % may be different due to little differences in the take profit calculation.
When monitoring trades in SmartTrade, you may notice differences between the unrealized profit and loss (uPNL) and the values displayed on your exchange. These discrepancies are normal and occur due to the following factors:
Fee Calculation:
3Commas includes estimated trading fees in the uPNL and PnL calculations. Most exchanges, however, show these values without fees until trades are settled.Price Source Difference:
3Commas uses the ticker price for calculations, while exchanges often use the mark price, particularly for Futures trades.
These differences do not affect the actual profit or loss; they only impact the displayed values during active trades.
7. Refresh.
This button will update with the trade's current information.
Completed trades.
Completed trades are displayed on the History page. Below is an example of how this page looks like:
Here, you will see all inactive trades - Completed, Closed by market price, Canceled, or Failed.
You can adjust the filters to display needed trades.
Also, here you can see the Overall stats in $ and Completed trades profit in Profit currencies.
You can also click on the trade ID to see the logs and other information about the trade.
