Updated over 8 months ago

If you are stuck in a trade or want to exit all your positions at once, the instructions below will guide you through how to flatten your trades.

  • Flattening your positions will flatten all open/working orders on the specified account.

  • Flattening all open orders will not flatten your orders on other accounts. Make sure you're flattening orders on the right account before taking action.
