How to exit or close a position
Learn how to close a trade on Nifty Paper Trade — exit at market in one tap, exit several at once, or auto-exit with a stop-loss/target.
Closing a trade ("squaring off") books your profit or loss and returns the cash/margin to your balance. There are three ways to do it.
1. One-tap exit
In the Positions panel, tap Exit on the trade. It closes at the live market price immediately. A long is sold, a short is bought back.
2. Exit several at once
Use Select all (or tick the ones you want) and exit them together — handy at the end of a session or to flatten quickly.
3. Auto-exit with SL/Target
Tap SL/TGT on a position to set a stop-loss, target price, or time-based exit. The platform closes it automatically when hit — see stop-loss and target.
After you exit
The closed trade moves to your exited/history list and its realised P&L is added to your day's total. Review it all in your portfolio & journal.
FAQ
At what price does Exit fill?
At the current live market price (a market order). For a specific exit price, use a limit or an SL — see order types.
Can I exit part of a position?
Options and futures exit in whole lots; reduce the lot count to scale out where supported.
What happens to my margin when I exit?
The blocked margin (for shorts/futures/commodities) is released back to your virtual cash, along with your P&L.
