Close your trade

Once your trade is placed, you may want to know how to close or partially close it:

  1. To close your trade: Simply click on the trade you wish to close and hit the close button.
  2. Partial closure: You can also close a portion of your position if desired. This is useful for locking in profits while maintaining exposure to the market.

Order Types to Consider:

  • Market Orders: These execute your trade immediately at the current market price.
  • Limit Orders: These allow you to set a price at which you want to buy or sell, and your trade will be executed only when that price is reached.
