Close Actions
The first row of Command Keys handles closing positions — fully or partially, with optional filtering.
Close 50% (Close Half)
Reduces your total open position size by half, applied per layer.
How It Works
Each open position has its lot size cut by 50%. The reduction is applied to each individual position (layer), not to the total combined position.
Example with a single position:
- You have 1 buy position of 0.10 lots
- After Close 50%: 0.05 lots remain
Example with multiple layers:
- You have 5 buy positions of 0.02 lots each (total: 0.10 lots)
- After Close 50%: 5 positions of 0.01 lots each (total: 0.05 lots)
- Each layer is halved individually
Odd Lot Rounding
If cutting a lot size in half produces an invalid value, TradeTorq rounds to the nearest acceptable lot size.
For example:
- 0.03 lots ÷ 2 = 0.015 → rounded to 0.01 or 0.02 depending on the broker's minimum step size
Note
Close 50% is one of the most-used Command Keys. It's a quick way to de-risk a winning position by taking half off the table.
Close Custom %
Closes a user-defined percentage of your total open position size.
How It Works
- Click the CLOSE % button
- Enter your desired percentage (e.g., 25, 40, 70)
- Confirm the action
The specified percentage is applied proportionally across all open positions.
Example:
- You have 0.20 lots total open
- You choose to close 30%
- 0.06 lots are closed, leaving 0.14 lots
Close Winners
Closes all positions currently in profit (positive floating P&L).
How It Works
TradeTorq filters your open positions and closes only those where:
- Floating profit > 0
Positions with negative or zero P&L are left untouched.
Use case: You have 5 open positions — 3 are in profit and 2 are in loss. Close Winners closes only the 3 profitable ones, leaving the 2 losers open.
Close Losers
Closes all positions currently in loss (negative floating P&L).
How It Works
TradeTorq filters your open positions and closes only those where:
- Floating profit < 0
Profitable positions are left untouched.
Use case: You want to cut your losses quickly while keeping your winning trades running. Close Losers removes only the losing positions.
Market conditions
All close actions execute at the current market price. During volatile markets or low liquidity, the actual close price may differ slightly from the displayed price (slippage).
Close All
Located in the Premium Actions row, Close All closes every open position regardless of profit or loss. It's the nuclear option — use it when you want to flatten your entire position.
