Reducing Position Size

Rufus · Sun, 01 Jan 2023 17:31:49 +0000

Dear All, For some reason I cannot reduce position size from say short 5 contracts to short 4… an instruction to buy 1 contract takes me long 1 contract therefore reversing the position.. I am sure there is something simple I have missed but can’t seem to find it in the documentation. Thanks for any guidance, Rufus EXITSHORT xCONTRACTS !! WHOOPs — I can’t delete this post it seems to adding the mea culpa here

Dear All,

For some reason I cannot reduce position size from say short 5 contracts to short 4… an instruction to buy 1 contract takes me long 1 contract therefore reversing the position.. I am sure there is something simple I have missed but can’t seem to find it in the documentation.

Thanks for any guidance, Rufus

If you have 5 contracts, you can reduce them by 1 (or more), by using:

SELL 1 Contract at Market //LONG trades EXITSHORT 1 Contract at Market //SHORT trades

1
2

SELL 1 Contract at Market //LONG trades
EXITSHORT 1 Contract at Market //SHORT trades
