Tradeout by time order

What function is this all about?

Tradeout by time allows you to flatten your market positions for any traded symbol at a certain time even if you don't have your trading terminal running.

Please remember that this order type is a one-off order type. When it is activated at the time you have set, it closes all open positions for the symbol it has been activated for.

After that, you will be able to see your tradeout by time order in the Order Window
