Guide

Should my Discord trade posts show P&L and position size?

For a public channel, turn Show size off, because position size is usually private. Show P&L on exits is your call. P&L in a public channel is a performance claim, so leave losing posts up and tell your members that past results don't predict future ones. If in doubt, leave P&L off, since members see their own results in their own accounts. Ping a role only if members asked for it.

Official documentation

Set what your channel shows

  1. 1

    Open the settings

    In the strategy's Integration tab, open Post trades to my Discord.

  2. 2

    Post entries and exits

    Leave both on so members see each trade open and close.

  3. 3

    Keep size off

    Turn Show size off for a public channel.

  4. 4

    Decide on P&L

    Turn Show P&L on exits on only if you will keep every post, wins and losses.

  5. 5

    Check it

    Save, then select Send sample. The sample uses the saved settings.

Suggested for a public channel

  • Post entries: on.
  • Post exits: on.
  • Show size: off.
  • Ping a role: off unless members asked for it.

If you show P&L

  • Leave losing posts up.
  • Tell members that past results don't predict future ones.
  • Read the risk disclosure before publishing performance figures.

Nyria's own live trades channel

  • A public or premium strategy can also post to Nyria's #live-trades channel from the Sharing section of the Integration tab.
  • Those posts never show a size.
  • A private strategy can't post there.
