QUESTION
What is the difference between Flatten and Disengage?
Flatten: Closes all open positions on the follower account immediately.
• Market orders are submitted to exit all positions
• The follower continues receiving new trades after flattening
Disengage (also called "turn off"): Stops copying new trades to the follower.
• Does NOT close open positions
• The follower keeps any current positions open
• No new leader trades will be copied
Together: Most risk rules have both options. Enabling both will flatten open positions AND stop new trades for the rest of the session.
Common use case: "Flatten + Disengage on daily loss limit" = close everything and stop trading for the day.
