Trim/Partial Close

Partially closing or trimming positions allows for locking in gains for stats while still keeping the position open for potentially more future gains

Trim/Partial Keywords TRIM - SCAL - PART - Leaving Some are all keywords to trigger a trim/partial close & can be used anywhere within the notes. (trimming, scale, scaling, partial, partially)

I.e. STC USDCAD @ 1.395 trimming

To trim or partially close trades and keep them open, use the trim/partial keywords at the end of the trade or anywhere within the notes, such as trim trimming scale scaling partial partially.

Example #1

Example of partially closing USD/CAD long position

Example #2

Example of partially closing USD/JPY long position

Example #3

Example of partially closing USDEUR short position

When closing trades with trim/partial exit, the final gain percentage is generated by calculating the average of trim(s) and exit returns which is used for final gain/loss that is factored into stats.

Using Slash Commands

The same concept applies to slash commands as with text commands. When using the /close command, use any of the trim/partial keywords (trim, trimming, partial, etc.) anywhere in the notes field to trim/partially close a position.

Trades that have been trimmed/partially closed will calculate the final gain percentage differently. The returns of each trim/partial and the closing return will be calculated into an average gain/return which is used toward stats. However, the bot will reply with an Entry to Exit gain/loss percentage for trades that have been trimmed/partially closed, but this value does not factor into stats and is only for cosmetic purposes.
