Sometimes you need out — right now. Here's the fast-and-thorough way to bring everything to a halt.
The one-step version: Stop Trading
In the top banner of any page, click Stop Trading, tick Also close my open positions now, and confirm. That does both jobs at once: every open position closes at market price, and no strategy opens anything new for the rest of today. Trading turns back on by itself tomorrow, so there's nothing to remember.
Full details, including how to stop a single strategy, are in Stop Trading for Today.
Use the longer route below when you want to stay stopped past today — a holiday, a trip, or while you rethink your settings.
Step 1: Flatten All
In the top banner of any page, click Flatten All. Confirm. Every open position closes at market price within seconds.
What this does not do: it doesn't stop new trades from opening if alerts arrive a moment later. To fully pause, do Step 2 as well.
Step 2: Turn the master switch off
Open Strategies (or Trading Settings) and flip the Trading enabled master switch to off. From this moment, no alert — from any source, on any strategy — will open a trade. The bot is now fully idle.
Unlike Stop Trading, this switch stays off until you turn it back on. That's the point of it: it outlasts today.
Step 3 (optional): Disable each strategy individually
For belt-and-suspenders peace of mind, you can disable each individual strategy below the master switch. With both the master and each strategy disabled, nothing can start a trade until you re-enable.
Resuming later
When you're ready to trade again:
- Re-enable each strategy you want to run.
- Flip the master Trading enabled switch back on.
- The bot resumes acting on alerts immediately.
Tip
Bookmark this topic. The middle of a panic is a bad time to read instructions. Knowing the steps before you need them turns "Stop Trading, also close positions" into muscle memory.
What if I can't reach the portal?
If the internet is down on your end or the portal won't load, you can also close positions directly from your broker's app or website. The bot doesn't override manual closes — once a position is gone from the broker, the portal will see it as closed within seconds.
