Why doesn't the "Flatten All" button work?

This article explains why the Replikanto Flatten All button may not close your positions, and how to close them directly from NinjaTrader instead.

The Flatten All button only works for the instrument selected in the Replikanto window, and only for the leader and follower accounts that are active.

When Flatten All won't work

1. No open position is being reported by NinjaTrader. A position may be showing in Rithmic or Tradovate, but if it has not been updated in NinjaTrader, this button will not work.
2. The button was pressed in the wrong Replikanto window or tab. In the heat of the moment it is easy to hit Flatten All in a window or tab for a different instrument than the one you meant to close.
3. There is a communication failure between NinjaTrader and the broker, so the close request is never sent. Disconnect and reconnect the broker connection in NinjaTrader, then try again.

Close positions from NinjaTrader instead

1. Open the Positions tab in the NinjaTrader Control Center.
2. Right-click within the positions grid section. This opens the following menu:

Select Flatten Everything — this flattens all open positions and cancels all working orders.

Live orders

CRITICAL — If your inquiry ever involves live orders, please always reach out to your broker's Orders Desk immediately to confirm and manage your live orders and positions.
