Automated execution: what happens when your rule triggers

From condition trigger to order confirmation — how My Metric Trade executes your strategy and what you can see in the activity log.

From condition to order

When a rule condition is met, My Metric Trade checks your safeguards, verifies your available balance, calculates the order size, and sends the order to your broker. The whole sequence takes milliseconds.

What you see in the activity log

Every execution is logged with the condition that triggered it, the price, the size, and the result. You can always see why a trade happened — not just that it happened.

What happens if a broker is unavailable

If a broker connection is temporarily unavailable, the order is queued and retried. If it cannot execute within your configured window, it is cancelled and logged. You are always informed.
