A trade is not finished when the idea is finished. It is finished when the position is actually reduced or closed.

​
Close from your position

Open Positions and select the position you want to manage. From there, use the available position controls to reduce or close the exposure. You can close:
  • the full position
  • part of the position, if you want to scale out

​
Close with an opposite order

In Pro mode, an order in the opposite direction can reduce an existing position. When the purpose of the order is only to exit, use Reduce only so the order cannot accidentally increase or reverse your exposure.

​
Example

You are long 0.01 BTC. A reduce-only sell for 0.01 BTC is intended to close that long. Without reduce-only protection, an incorrectly sized sell could potentially do more than simply close the position.

​
Use TP/SL for planned exits

If you know the exit level in advance, a take-profit or stop-loss order can automate the trigger rather than waiting for you to close manually.

​
Check for leftover orders

Closing a position does not mean every related waiting order has necessarily disappeared. After closing, check Open orders for:
  • old limit orders
  • conditional entries
  • take-profit orders
  • stop-loss orders
Cancel anything you no longer want active.

​
Confirm the position is closed

Finish with two checks:
  1. Positions no longer shows the exposure you intended to close.
  2. Trade history shows the closing execution.
If an order is still sitting under Open orders, the position may not be fully closed yet.
