Manual Trading with Follow-up Analysis

Since leveraged trading APIs are limited, you can manually execute trades on Drift Protocol while still using the AI follow-up assistant for trade management.

How to Use "Mark as Traded"

1. Get AI Analysis

  • Run any analysis on the AI Analysis Panel
  • Review the trading setup (entry, stop loss, take profit targets)
  • Note the recommended entry price and levels

2. Execute Trade Manually

  • Go to Drift Protocol (https://app.drift.trade)
  • Execute your leveraged trade manually based on the AI analysis
  • Use the recommended entry price and risk management levels

3. Mark as Traded

  • Return to the AI Analysis Panel
  • Click the blue "📋 Mark as Traded" button next to any analysis
  • Enter your actual trade details:
    • Trade amount (position size)
    • Confirm entry price (defaults to AI recommendation)
  • The system will create a virtual position for tracking

4. Use Follow-up Assistant

  • Click "Trade Follow-up" in the main dashboard
  • The assistant will now recognize your position
  • Ask for updated analysis, risk assessment, exit strategies
  • Get real-time market condition updates with fresh screenshots
