An entry is the beginning of a position's story, not the end of your responsibility. Once a holding exists, its value can change, its exit conditions may be monitored, and requests can succeed or fail. Automation can help carry out defined work around that position. It does not promise that the position will close at an exact price, at a convenient moment, or with a profit.

Open Portfolio and read the identity of a position before judging it. The coin is only part of that identity. Inspect its owner or strategy, account or connection, mode, and any position identifier shown in the detail or action dialog. Two holdings in the same coin can have different owners and histories. A result for one should not silently become your explanation for the other.

Position ownership matters when you consider intervention. A holding associated with a strategy is not automatically the same as an app-owned or manual holding. The app uses these distinctions in its views and actions. Read the current labels and any confirmation before changing a position. Do not assume that one Sell action will affect every holding with that symbol, or that changing ownership preserves the same monitoring behavior.

The exit-alert view can help you inspect what is being monitored. Read the position, the nearest condition reported, and the information available about distance or timing. An alert is information about a condition. It is not a receipt for a completed sale. After an expected exit, use the position and transaction records to check whether an action occurred and what amount was actually executed.

A displayed gain also needs context. Unrealized profit and loss describes a holding that is still open, using the valuation available in that view. It can change before a sale. A recorded sale has its own execution price and fees. Do not treat an open green number as cash already secured, and do not expect a later net result to equal an earlier screen estimate exactly.

Stopping deserves the same careful reading. Disabling a strategy, pausing trading, closing a position, removing access, and canceling a subscription are different actions. Do not assume that a pause closes holdings or that every form of stopping leaves exit monitoring active. Some trading controls can block automated exits as well as entries. Their scope and the current position state must be checked before you rely on them.

This becomes especially important during an interruption. If you intend to stop activity, identify the relevant account and mode, read the control's effect, and inspect the returned state. Then check open positions and outstanding results separately. If an order had already been sent, a later pause is not evidence that the exchange canceled it. Confirm the outcome through the available order and account records.

For your checkpoint, choose one example position and explain who owns it, where it belongs, and how you would verify an exit. Finish with this distinction: I can see an exit condition, but I still need evidence of execution. That habit prevents a common misunderstanding. Monitoring a position and finishing a position are related jobs, but they are not the same event.
