Post From: "Flatten and Cancel" versus "Flatten"

Thank you, I resorted to asking as I could not find the definition of the terms in general in the documentation (as well as because of prior threads on the confusing aspects of this).

I think I might have managed to find it however.

For future readers:

Flatten: Trading Information Windows: Flatten Trade Positions
Flatten means to send a market order to make the current Position quantity 0.

Cancel: Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Cancel All
This button will cancel all working orders for the Symbol and Trade Account the chart or Trading DOM is set to.

Flatten & Cancel: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TradeWindow.html#FlattenCancel. The "Cancel" here works has some nuances compared to above
This command Flattens the position and Cancels all the working orders for the symbol, except for Market orders.
