Running a trade

Recording an entry, a top-up and an exit; the journal columns.

• The trade journal: recording a position and what it computes — A position as entries and exits on two legs, where to open one, how to correct it and how to read the total.
• Connecting an exchange and importing trades into the journal — How to connect a read-only key, where the drafts come from, how to build an operation from real fills and what happens to funding.
• Connecting DEXes: Hyperliquid and Aster — What to enter when an exchange has no usual API key: the account address, not an API wallet, and where the Aster private key comes from.
