Trading Tools » Closing a Position
Once you have submitted a position, you may want to close the position. You can close a position in many ways, but one of the easiest is to use the Trading Chevron in the chart.
- In the Focus List, double-click on the symbol for the security that has the position you want to close. This will display the chart for the selected security.
- Right-click the Chevron and select Close Position. VisualTrader will immediately record the position as closed.
You can also close a single position or all the positions in an account from the Open Positions tab in the Portfolio window.
- Click on the Accounts button on the Brokerage Toolbar.
- From the drop-down menu, select the account that contains the position you would like to close.
- Click on the Open Positions tab.
- Click to highlight the position that you want to close, and click the Close Position button. You will see the Close Position dialog box.
- Confirm that the details are correct and click OK to immediately close the selected position.
You can also close all the positions in the selected account by right-clicking and selecting Close All Positions and then confirming the closure. In this case, the position is not immediately closed but is submitted for closure.
