# Positions and history

> The six tabs at the bottom of the trading screen, and which one answers which question.

Six tabs, each answering a different question. Most support tickets that begin "my balance changed and I do not know why" are answered by picking the right one.

| Question                                 | Tab                 |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| What collateral do I have?               | **Balances**        |
| What am I holding right now?             | **Positions**       |
| What is still waiting to fill?           | **Open Orders**     |
| What price did I actually get?           | **Trade History**   |
| Why did my balance move without a trade? | **Funding History** |
| What happened to the order I placed?     | **Order History**   |

## Positions

Your open positions, with size, entry price, mark price, unrealized P\&L, and **liquidation price**.

Liquidation price is the number to watch. It is not fixed at open — it moves as you add or remove margin, as funding is charged, and as unrealized P\&L changes your account equity.

## Open Orders

Orders resting on the book, unfilled. Cancel them here.

An order sitting here is not a bug. A limit order rests until the market reaches it, which may be never. If you expected an immediate fill and find the order here instead, you placed a limit order that did not cross — see [Why didn't my order fill](/help/fill-or-pnl-question).

## Trade History vs Order History

The distinction that confuses people most.

**Order History** is what you submitted — every order, including ones that were cancelled or rejected, with their final state.

**Trade History** is what executed — every individual fill, with its price and the fee charged on it.

One order can produce many fills. A market order that consumed three price levels is **one** row in Order History and **three** in Trade History, at three prices. Your effective entry is their weighted average, and because [fees are charged per fill](/programs/fees), you paid three fees.

This is also where to look when the price you got differs from the price you saw. The fills show exactly what happened.

## Funding History

Every [funding](/trading/funding) payment made or received, with the rate and the position it applied to.

It has its own tab because **funding is not a fee and does not appear in Trade History**. If your balance moved and no trade explains it, this is almost always the answer. Positive rate means longs pay shorts; if you are short with positive funding, this tab is showing you income.

## Balances

Collateral by asset, split into what is available and what is committed to margin.

Available balance is lower than total whenever you have a position open — the difference is backing that position, and it cannot be withdrawn while the position needs it.

## Filtering

`Filter` and `Current Symbol` narrow every tab to one market. Useful when you trade several and are reconstructing what happened in one of them.
