This page will show you how to close short stocks & options positions. BTC (Buy to Close) is the trigger to close long positions.

Stocks Input

To close your short stock position, use the trigger BTC followed by the ticker and use @ before your price.

BTC <ticker> <exp. date> <strike> <call/put> @ <price> I.e. BTC SPY 1/23 450 call @ 1.23 BTC SPY 1/23 450c @ 1.23
You can also use the format with expiration after strike & call/put I.e. BTC SPY 450c 1/23 @ 1.23
To close your short options position, use the trigger BTC followed by the ticker, then the expiration date using MM/DD format, your strike price and attaching c or p to it or specifying call or put.

You can enter in your actual price or use CMP or M for the current market price.
