Closing Orders · Close Buttons

TL;DR

Closing trades in Sword comes in several levels · Close Buy and Close Sell close one side at a time · Close All closes only the trades of that symbol (Sword trades by MagicNumber in this symbol — other symbols and other EAs are not closed) · Close All Profit closes only the trades in profit · DelPendingAll deletes all pending orders, while Remove All SL strips the stop-loss point from every trade · if you enable the trade list, each trade row also gets its own SL TP X buttons

When to use this feature

Use Close All when you want to clear this chart's positions cleanly · use Close All Profit when you want to bank the profit and leave the losing trades open to watch a while longer · use DelPendingAll when the situation changes and the pending orders you placed are no longer wanted

How to use

The close buttons sit together on the left side of the panel · Close Buy closes only buy trades, while Close Sell closes only sell trades · Close All closes every trade in the symbol of this chart — let me stress it: this chart only, so if you keep several gold charts open you must press on each one · Close All Profit closes only the trades whose combined profit is positive; trades in the red stay open

DelPendingAll deletes every pending order in one click — use it when you change your whole plan · Remove All SL strips the stop-loss point off every trade; this button is very dangerous, because your trades are left with no brake at all · if you enable the trade list option, each trade row has small SL TP and X buttons for managing them one by one

Pro Tip · Mr. Bom

I like closing trades in two beats · first press Close All Profit to bank the profit, then look at whether the remaining trades deserve to wait or should be closed · this builds the habit of not closing everything in excitement — but remember, trading always involves real risk

FAQ

Q: Does Close All close trades on every chart?

A: No — it closes only trades in the same symbol as the chart where you pressed the button; other charts are unaffected

Q: Does Close All Profit close losing trades too?

A: No — it closes only trades with positive profit; trades in the red stay open

Q: How do I turn on the per-trade X button?

A: First enable the trade list option on the Inputs page, then each trade row gets its own SL TP X buttons

Q: When should Remove All SL be used?

A: Only when you deliberately want to remove the brake from every trade; normally it is not recommended, because your trades are left with no stop-loss point at all

Q: I pressed close but the trade is still there — what now?

A: Check the Algo Trading button first; if it is off, close commands cannot be sent
