Managing Open Trades & Positions

This article explains how to monitor, modify, and close open trades and positions on the Capital Street FX trading platform.

Viewing Open Positions

All active trades are displayed in the Open Positions or Trade Terminal section of the platform. For each position, traders can view:

• Instrument name

• Entry price

• Current market price

• Trade volume

• Floating profit or loss

• Used margin

This information helps traders track performance in real time.

Modifying an Open Trade

Traders can adjust risk management levels on active trades by:

1. Selecting the open position.

2. Modifying the Stop Loss level.

3. Modifying the Take Profit level.

4. Confirming the changes.

Updates take effect immediately once confirmed.

Closing a Trade

To close an open trade:

1. Select the position from the open trades list.

2. Choose the close option.

3. Confirm the closure.

Closing a trade will realize the profit or loss and update the account balance.

Partial Trade Closure

If supported by the platform, traders may:

• Close a portion of an open trade

• Leave the remaining position active

This allows traders to secure partial profits while maintaining market exposure.

Monitoring Margin Impact

Open trades affect:

• Used margin

• Free margin

• Margin level percentage

Traders should regularly monitor these values to avoid margin calls or automatic position closures.

Important Notes

• Open positions remain active until they are manually closed or automatically closed by Stop Loss, Take Profit, or stop-out conditions.

• Market volatility may cause rapid changes in profit or loss.

• Capital Street FX is not responsible for losses caused by delayed action by the trader.

This guide helps traders manage open trades and positions effectively to maintain control over their trading activity.
