 ====== Flatten ====== ====== Flatten ======
 +In trading, "flatten position" or "flattening a position" refers to closing an existing open position, whether long or short, to eliminate any market exposure.
 +
 +Flatten your current position by clicking the **Flatten Position** button.  
 +A market order will be submitted on the **opposite side** of your position, with a volume up to your **Max Clip Size**.  
 +If your **net position** is greater than your max clip size, it may take **multiple attempts** to fully flatten your position.
 +
 +**Note:** The Flatten button must be enabled in:  
 +**Main Properties → Window/Contract Window → Separate Order Type.**
 +
 +The Flatten button looks like this on your trade ladder: {{desktop:flatten.png?50}}

 +
 +===== Pull on Flatten =====
 +
 +**Pull on Flatten** attempts to **pull all working orders** in the selected market **before** flattening an open position using the Flatten tool.
 +
 +When **Pull on Flatten** is enabled, a **red box** will appear around the button to indicate that you are using **Pull on Flatten** instead of the standard Flatten function.
 +
 +**Note:** The Pull on Flatten button must be enabled in:  
 +**Main Properties → Order Entry → Pull section.**
