Platform nuances

Closing a strategy also closes its strategy-managed positions and orders.

WebSocket API

This request can also be made over the WebSocket API. The account and strategyId path parameters are passed inside args.

{
  "action": "rpc",
  "id": "my-request-id",
  "api": "CloseStrategy",
  "args": {
    "account": "Sim101",
    "strategyId": "my-strategy-id"
  }
}

Tradovate

Tradovate

Not available on Tradovate

NinjaScript strategies are a NinjaTrader desktop concept, so there is no /v1/api/tv equivalent for closing a strategy; to flatten positions and cancel orders on a Tradovate account, use the position endpoints in the Tradovate API overview.

The documented Tradovate alternatives are Flatten Everything for positions and Cancel All Orders for working orders.
