# Positions in the futures terminal

<mark style="color:$tint;">**The position**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">tab shows the open volume on the tools and sides. It can be used to issue a closing order or a coup. This instruction applies to Binance and Bybit's desktop futures terminals in a separate long and short</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">**Hedge mode**</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">mode. Spot and one-sided regime are not part of this.</mark>

### Find the right position

<mark style="color:$tint;">Open the</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Binance terminal</mark>](https://app.itradingbot.net/terminal-binance) <mark style="color:$tint;">or Bybit terminal, check the account in</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">**The future**</mark><mark style="color:$tint;">s header and tag. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">The Bybit terminal</mark>](https://app.itradingbot.net/terminal-bybit) <mark style="color:$tint;">The connection of your own account is described in a separate instruction; you can also choose your Exchange Account on Bybit. —</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">in separate instructions</mark>](/en/trading-terminal/connecting-accounts-to-the-terminal.md)

<mark style="color:$tint;">Go to Position and compare the tool, side and quantity. Long and short of one instrument separate sides: action with one should not be considered action with another.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">The Hide Others flag leaves the current tool. To see the other pairs' positions, take it off. Check Open Orders separately: they can change the size of the position after the screen is updated.</mark>

### Close the side with a market order

<mark style="color:$tint;">When the Trade is enabled, a single click of the button sends the command immediately without additional confirmation. Check the settings before you do it.</mark>

1. <mark style="color:$tint;">Check the side and the actual volume in the correct line.</mark>
2. <mark style="color:$tint;">Click Close in this row.</mark>
3. <mark style="color:$tint;">Confirm the action if a window appears. When the Trade is enabled, the command goes off without it.</mark>
4. <mark style="color:$tint;">Wait for the update and check the rest of the position and execution.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">The team sends a market order in the opposite direction to the chosen party. The price of execution depends on the market. Notice or disappearance of the window does not replace the remainder check.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">Closing the position does not make a separate mass cancellation of all its orders. After that, check the remaining orders and their appointment.</mark>

### Close with the limit order

<mark style="color:$tint;">Open the line action menu. Enter the quantity and price, then click</mark> <mark style="color:$tint;"></mark><mark style="color:$tint;">**Close by limit**</mark><mark style="color:$tint;">. For partial closure, enter a portion of the actual volume of the required side.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">It's creating a closing bid, not a momentary decline. The position remains open until execution. After sending, check the order in Open Orders and after executing the balance in Positions.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">In Binance, the price below the current long-term closing price or above the current short-term closing price converts the bid into a conditional one. Then the price is used for activation; check the list of Conditional.</mark>

### What Makes a Coup

<mark style="color:$tint;">In the row menu, select Reverse position only after checking both sides of this tool.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">The team sends two market orders in a row: close the selected side and open the opposite side to the given volume. If the opposite side already has a position, the new team can increase it.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">This is not a single guaranteed operation. An error or partial execution can leave an intermediate result. After the answer, check both sides, execution and open orders before repeating the action.</mark>

### Before the mass closure

<mark style="color:$tint;">The Close All button sends commands to list tab positions. With the Hide Others enabled, it remains the current tool; without the filter the positions of the different tools of the selected account.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">Check the whole list before you confirm. When trading in one click, there may be no additional window.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">The closures are performed by individual teams. In Binance, the result is processed by positions, and Bybit sends them in sequence. A single error does not mean the same result for everyone: after you have done it, check each side and the remaining orders.</mark>

### If the position is connected to the robot

<mark style="color:$tint;">Manual position closure and robot task disabling are different actions. Don't consider the manual shutdown to be confirmation of a future signal entry ban.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">Check the status of the task and its commands in the</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Bybit</mark>](/en/bybit-robot/bybit-robot-tasks.md) <mark style="color:$tint;">or</mark> [<mark style="color:$tint;">Binance</mark>](/en/binance-robot/binance-robot-tasks-and-active-trades.md) <mark style="color:$tint;">instructions. The consequences of changing a task, stopping, cancelling, closing and dropping are the same for your own API connection and Exchange Account.</mark>

### Check the result and the balance

<mark style="color:$tint;">After each command, check the number of positions, orders executed and remaining orders. When partially executed, only the executed volume changes; the closing order and position may still be present at the same time.</mark>

<mark style="color:$tint;">If you make a mistake or lose your answer, update the data first. If you see an unsupported position mode, check the account mode: the commands described use separate longs and shorts. Repeating the pressure without determining the result does not correct the uncertainty.</mark>
