=====Flattening Tool=====

The Flattening Tool can be used to flatten positions by market region, asset class, office, and trader. It sends an order to immediately close out one or more positions.

  * **Note:** Flattening is only available for manager accounts. Traders can flatten their own positions from __[[summary tool|Summary]]__.
  * **Note:** The pre-market and after-market hours have special rules.
