Trades

The Trade is a sub-entity of SmartTrade. Each trade entity includes the conditions set for its specific trade type.

Each trade is created automatically by Quentrade based on the conditions set within the SmartTrade entity.

How Trades Work Within SmartTrade

When a SmartTrade is initiated, Quentrade automatically decomposes the parent strategy into specialized sub-trade orders (entry, take profit, stop loss, reduce funds, and emergency market closes). Each trade lifecycle is tracked independently while reporting back to the overarching SmartTrade container.
