# Blotter: positions, balances, orders, fills

The blotter sits under the chart and streams your account state live from the venue. Connect a wallet with a Lighter account and it populates on its own.

## Positions

Every open position: market, side, size, entry price, unrealized PnL and the venue's liquidation price. This is the venue's own account stream — the same numbers Lighter holds, not a local estimate.

## Balances

Your assets on the venue: wallet balance, locked balance, and margin balance backing open positions.

## Orders

Orders placed from this session, with a per-market "Cancel all" button that sweeps your resting orders off that book in one signed transaction.

Scope note, stated plainly: the venue gates its full open-orders stream behind an authenticated tier. Until that tier is wired in, this tab lists what you placed from this browser session. Orders placed elsewhere (or in a previous session) still exist on the venue — they are visible on Lighter's own interface and are cancelled by the same "Cancel all".

## Fills

Your recent executions: market, size, price, value and time, streamed from the venue's account feed.

## Empty states

Every state is explicit. Not connected, no account yet, no positions, no fills — each says exactly what it is. The blotter never renders a blank panel and lets you guess.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nocktrade.xyz/the-terminal/blotter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
