{% endhint %}

### Closing Long

> **STC \<base & quote tickers> @ \<price>**\
> I.e. *`STC USDCAD @ 1.395`*

To close a **long** forex position, use the trigger **`STC`** followed by the base & quote tickers without separation, then the symbol @ before the price.

Final Notes:\
\- **Do not use `$` with tickers.** \
**- Do not separate base & quote tickers with a `/` slash or any character.**\
\- Submit using a specified price, or use `CMP` or `M` for submitting at the current market price.\
\- Multiple trades can be submitted in a single message by using 3 back ticks (\`\`\`) before and after the whole message.
{% endhint %}

## Using Slash Commands

Submitting trades through slash commands has a more user friendly aspect to it but can take some seconds longer than text messages.

Type in `/close` then select `forex`.

Type in or select the direction `Long` or `Short`.&#x20;

Input the base and quote currency tickers, do not separate them with a `/` slash or any character.

Enter in the price or use `0` for the current market price.

Notes can be added and are optional. Trimming or partially closing positions can be done by using the Trim/Partial Close keywords (trim, trimming, partial, etc.) within the notes.

Did you know?\
Quickly closing trades can be done by using the `$list` or `/list` command to show all open trades, where each one has a button to immediately close it at the current market price. Check out [Commands](/commands/list.md) for a list of all commands and how to use them.
