Hi, I was just wondering if there is an option to flatten one's position at either the bid or ask price with the click of a button or hotkey function. The way I currently do this is after I enter a trade, I always have to turn off 'use attached orders', and when I am ready to exit, I select 'buy bid' or 'sell ask'. Then I have to cancel my open attached orders and again turn on 'use attached orders before entering a new trade. I do this because I rarely want to flatten at the market unless I deem it absolutely necessary. If a function to 'flatten at bid' or 'flatten at ask' could be implemented that would be great. I believe there was a post similar to this back in 2018: Flatten at Ask or Flatten at Bid Thanks |

There is not an option for this. One other way that we think you could do this where you could just press a single button, would be to use the Bid and Ask Prices study along with the Trade Management by Study study, where the Trade Management by Study would be set to move a Stop to the Bid or Ask price of the Bid and Ask Prices. You can then setup a Control Bar button (which could then be tied to a keyboard shortcut) that enables that Trade Management by Study, which would then move the stop to that price.
