Flatten All

Hi there,
Order and Positions window has a "Cancel All" button - cancels all of the pending orders on all DOM's.
1. Is there a "Flatten All" button or a hotkey that would flatten/cancel positions/orders on multiple DOM's?
2. Is there a hotkey for "Cancel All" that would work on multiple DOM's?

Thank you

1. Refer to:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeStatusWindows.html#FlattenTradePositions

2. There is only the button if you want to be able to cancel orders for multiple symbols. No shortcut key.

I know this is a years-old post but on the off chance someone comes here looking for this feature as I was... there is another solution that's better (IMO) than using the Trade Status Window.

In the Control Bar you can add "Trade Flatten and Cancel" as a button from the "Trading Commands" category. No hotkey mapping that I can see, but at least it's just a single click away without having to have another window open. It's no "Flatten All" but it's good enough for me since I will tend to have only a single trade on at a time.

I may have to stand corrected. I tried using the Flatten & Cancel button shortly after making this post, and it did nothing. It would not flatten my open position, and I don't know why.

i had similar issues with "Trade Send Attached Order", till i figure out that I needed to enable trading keyboard shortcuts.

Chart Trade Mode and Trading Keyboard shortcuts for the chart need to be enabled for this command to be followed.

We will add a control bar button to flatten all positions.

It would be great if you can also support assigning a keyboard shortcut for the Flatten All command.

This does exist in the latest release of Sierra Chart already.

I could find the "Cancel All Orders All Symbols All Accounts" option but it does not flatten the positions but only cancel orders. It is not Flatten All function.
Or am I missing it?

Make sure you are running the very latest release and the command is Global Settings >> Customize Keyboard Shortcuts >> Trading Keyboard Shortcuts >>Flatten All Positions.

Thanks.

Since this is related, I thought it might be good to post it here. When I add the "Cancel Orders All Symbols All Accounts" button to a control bar, I am still prompted for confirmation when clicking it, even though I have [[Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> Disable Order Confirmations - Global]] checked. Maybe it's not really an "order confirmation" but unfortunately it does not serve its purpose if prompted, since the purpose of a global "cancel everything now" is to do it immediately with no questions asked, and especially when the popup appears away from where I clicked, I might not even see that I still need to confirm the action.

Yes, this is a problem if it has to go fast! I also need it without the confirmation. And would it be possible to add a Keyboard shortcut for "Flatten Orders All Symbols All Accounts" without the confirmation, SC Support? Thank You!

You can get rid of the Order Confirmation when using the Keyboard Shortcut for "Cancel Orders All Symbols All Accounts" by disabling this setting:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Confirmation for Order Cancellations from the 'Orders' Tab (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Notifications)

As to adding the option for "Flatten Orders All Symbols All Accounts", one of the senior engineers will review and respond if it is something that can be added.

That would be great! And ideally- it will also work on simulation mode- in order to train. Thank you very much!

We can add a keyboard shortcut to Flatten All Trade Positions but it will not work in Trade Simulation Mode.

Also there is this command:
Trading Information Windows: Flatten Trade Positions
