    Under the new rules, you don't close an order. You make an opposite trade for the same amount and it closes out.

    There are a lot of other details too. Be careful till you read up on them.
    For example, if you have more than one open trade in the same pair, when you enter an opposing trade, it will automatically close the one you opened first. Whether you like it or not.

    Yeah! Not being able to close the trade you want to is the worst. They go by FIFO. Of course, in the same pair.

    But, one new feature, OCO, one cancels the other, is pretty good. For example, if you want to play the extremes, you set your orders for a whole bunch of pairs, and then group them in one or more groups. If one trade of the group goes through, the others are automatically cancelled. There are no stops, no limits. Actually, no trailing stops, because you can enter an opposing trade as a stop or limit.

    The only thing you really lost is the trailing stop, and the mandatory first in first out. there are some other things that are good.

    You can still enter static stops as opposing trades, as well as limits as opposing trades. But, be sure that if you enter a stop trade and a limit trade, you set them up as an OCO,

    I'd stay away from one click, unless you have nerves of steel in your hands. One click, and he gone...
