====== 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.**
