- Data still missing btw, 15:24:00 - 15:59:00
There is not always going to be data for a spread at all times. If you believe there is missing data give us the Date and Time and time zone and exact symbol. We will have a quick look, at our source servers and see if the data is there. But there should not be any difference found.

How do i flatten positions with limit orders?
Flattened them this time with default mkt orders and cost me 500 USD.
Simply use a Limit order and set the price as you require:
Order Types: Limit

You will have to make your own decision about the price.

but now i cannot see the butterfly spread position. It has been resolved into components.
Yes usually this is the case.


1. Will these be converted to butterfly spread when data is back?
We do not understand this question.

We are not sure about this. It depends upon the trading service:
2. Margin on the spread is much less than individual positions.
- Will they now be considered single futures per margin conventions? Or is this just how the BF is displayed?
