How closing works

Closing submits a sell order for your position. If your limit price is away from the current bid, the close order can rest on the book until it matches.

Option A: Chart "Sell" Button

  1. Tap preferred market on main page
  2. Tap the "sell" button on the chart
  3. Review and sign
  4. Verify position is closed

This opens the close ticket with the Sell side selected for the position.

Option B: "Trade" Button

  1. Tap preferred market on main page
  2. Tap the "trade" button on the chart
  3. Tap "sell" or "close" from the options that pop up
  4. Review and sign
  5. Verify position is closed

This path opens the same close ticket, with Sell or Close preselected based on your choice.

Common Issues​

"No position to close"​

Cause: The position has already been closed or fully settled.

Fix: Refresh the positions list and confirm the position is still open.

"Close order still open"​

Cause: Limit orders can rest until they match.

Fix: Wait for a fill, or cancel and adjust the price.

Cancel order

"Close size exceeds position size"​

Cause: The close order size is larger than your current position.

Fix: Reduce the close size or select "Close All" if available.
