How to flatten automatically at the end of the day

PropTradeBot closes your positions at a time you set, in New York time, and takes no new entries after it, so nothing is held into the close by accident. You choose the time. There's no default, and until you set one it won't take new entries.

Why it matters

Holding past the close is one of the easiest ways to end an evaluation on a rule instead of a bad trade. You get busy, the trade is still open, and the cutoff passes. A flatten time you set once removes that.

How it works

• Set "Flatten all positions at" on the app's Strategy tab, or during setup. Set it before your firm's cutoff, with a margin.
• Optional: "Stop taking new entries at", an earlier time after which no new trades start.
• At the flatten time it closes every position on the accounts it trades, not only its own trades, and takes no new entries until the 6:00 PM ET reopen.
• A refused entry says why in plain words: past your cutoff, past your flatten time, or no flatten time set.
• Don't want it? Tick "Don't auto-flatten" and it's really off.

Also worth knowing

• It won't restart while a trade is open, so a settings change never lands mid-trade.
• The Mac has to be awake and the app open at your flatten time.
• Works on Topstep and on accounts you trade in NinjaTrader 8.
