Hi,

is there a way to FLATTEN a portion of the total position using a hotkey?

e.g: i am long ( or short ) 4 contacts....the desired hotkey should close ( say 50% ) of the position when pressed.

yes i am aware that i can manually enter a mkt sell/buy order to flatter a portion of the total position...trust me, it is error prone as i have accidentally ADDED to the position instead of reducing it.

thanks
