WEBVTT 00:00:01.300 --> 00:00:05.230 The most useful part of a rehearsal starts after the request. Now 00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:09.159 we ask what actually changed. Keep Paper selected and open the relevant 00:00:09.159 --> 00:00:13.089 position and transaction information. A position shows what the practice account currently 00:00:13.089 --> 00:00:17.018 holds. A transaction record describes an event. You need both ideas because 00:00:17.018 --> 00:00:20.948 a current total cannot tell the whole story of how it got 00:00:20.948 --> 00:00:21.275 there. 00:00:21.775 --> 00:00:25.641 Find the market you used and check its quantity. Then look for 00:00:25.641 --> 00:00:29.507 the matching purchase in the activity records. Compare its side, price, quantity, 00:00:29.507 --> 00:00:33.373 and time with your notes. On mobile, Recent app transactions identifies the 00:00:33.373 --> 00:00:37.240 current mode and says that it shows TraderLobby executions only. That scope 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.106 matters: it is not presented as a complete statement of everything at 00:00:41.106 --> 00:00:41.750 an exchange. 00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:46.155 Read any delay message before deciding a record is missing. Also check 00:00:46.155 --> 00:00:50.060 that you are in the right account context and looking at the 00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:53.965 relevant period. If a request timed out, its outcome may need checking 00:00:53.965 --> 00:00:57.870 even though you saw an error. Do not turn uncertainty into several 00:00:57.870 --> 00:01:01.775 more requests. First establish whether the original action has a matching record. 00:01:02.275 --> 00:01:06.025 Now separate cash movement from performance. If you added one hundred simulated 00:01:06.025 --> 00:01:09.775 dollars and then spent ten simulated dollars on an asset, the added 00:01:09.775 --> 00:01:13.525 hundred was practice capital. It was not a hundred-dollar trading gain. Your 00:01:13.525 --> 00:01:17.275 current holding can change in displayed value while you own it. That 00:01:17.275 --> 00:01:21.025 changing value is different from a result recorded when a position is 00:01:21.025 --> 00:01:21.650 actually sold. 00:01:22.150 --> 00:01:25.902 You do not need to erase the account to repeat a lesson. 00:01:25.902 --> 00:01:29.655 Write down a new starting point and repeat one small, clearly identified 00:01:29.655 --> 00:01:33.407 Paper exercise if you want more practice. Keep enough detail to tell 00:01:33.407 --> 00:01:37.159 the attempts apart. A second purchase of the same asset can affect 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.912 an existing position, so use the transaction records instead of expecting a 00:01:40.912 --> 00:01:42.475 fresh position for every attempt. 00:01:42.975 --> 00:01:47.175 Each control has a specific job. Add paper funds and Remove paper 00:01:47.175 --> 00:01:51.375 funds change simulated cash. They do not mean cancel all orders, close 00:01:51.375 --> 00:01:55.575 every position, or erase the history. Removing cash is not the same 00:01:55.575 --> 00:01:59.775 action as selling an asset. Read the dialog's scope before submitting an 00:01:59.775 --> 00:02:03.275 adjustment, and record that adjustment separately from the trading exercise. 00:02:03.775 --> 00:02:07.651 There is also a Reset Reserve action in the Paper profit-reserve dialog 00:02:07.651 --> 00:02:11.527 where that control is available. Its confirmation explains that the locked reserve 00:02:11.527 --> 00:02:15.404 goes back to zero and that cash becomes tradable again. This is 00:02:15.404 --> 00:02:19.280 a reserve change, not a restart of the whole practice account. Our 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:23.156 rehearsal does not require it, and the confirmation warns that the action 00:02:23.156 --> 00:02:24.125 cannot be undone. 00:02:24.625 --> 00:02:28.026 Finish the review with a short account of events: here was my 00:02:28.026 --> 00:02:31.428 starting point, here was my request, and here is the evidence of 00:02:31.428 --> 00:02:34.829 the result. If something remains unclear, name it rather than filling the 00:02:34.829 --> 00:02:38.231 gap with a guess. The goal of repeating is to make that 00:02:38.231 --> 00:02:41.632 explanation easier and more accurate. A tidy record teaches you more than 00:02:41.632 --> 00:02:43.900 repeatedly clearing numbers until the screen looks new.
