Paper Trading Order History: The Audit Trail That Teaches You

Trade Records Are Where Learning Lives

Most traders have no idea what their actual edge looks like. They remember the wins vividly, gloss over the losses, and draw conclusions from a biased sample. An honest order history fixes that — a complete, timestamped, machine-recorded log of what you did, at what price, under what conditions. Reviewed weekly, it reveals your real patterns: the setups that actually work, the ones you chase, the times of day you execute poorly.

What the Order History Card Shows

The Paper Trading Order History card lists every order placed — filled, partially filled, canceled, or expired — with timestamps, order type, quantity, requested price, fill price, modeled slippage, and realized P&L for closed round-trips. A filter bar lets you slice by ticker, order type, date range, and outcome (win / loss / break-even). Export-to-CSV is one click so you can run your own analysis. Each row links back to the chart at the fill time so you can see the tape context in which you executed.

Reading the History

Three reviews produce disproportionate insight. First, win rate by setup type — group trades by the setup you were trading (breakout, pullback, news, earnings drift) and compute hit rates; most traders find one or two setups do the real work and the rest dilute returns. Second, slippage vs slippage target — if your average slippage consistently exceeds the model, your entries are chasing; tighten your limit discipline. Third, time-of-day distribution of losses — many retail traders lose disproportionately in the opening and closing 30 minutes; if your history shows that, stop trading those windows.

Where It Fits

This card is the after-action review surface. Pair with Account Summary for the aggregate picture, Order Entry for the rehearsal side, and Coach which reads this log directly to give AI-assisted pattern feedback on your executions.
