Flatten Everything Event

[Rudmax]

Is there any way to capture the FlattenEverything event?

Thanks!

Hello Rudmax,

Thank you for your post.

FlattenEverything() is an undocumented/unsupported method. When calling FlattenEverything() we are able to see positions close but we are unable to differentiate between the closed positions because the order name is not unique and only returns "Close".

With that being said, you could subscribe to account-level OrderUpdate events to monitor orders sent to an account. When we create our own order, we can give it a unique name that we can identify in the account's OrderUpdate event. A custom method could be created that loops through your account Positions and checks if that position is Long or Short followed by submitting an order in the opposite direction of the position to close it. For example, if we are in a long position, a sell order will be placed in order to close out that long position.

Please see the attached example strategy which demonstrates how a custom method may be used to flatten all positions on an account.

Also, I have linked the following help guide pages for more information.
