What is a "Canceled" position?
A position is canceled when it was unable to open for any number of reasons. The position will (by design) occupy a position slot until you cancel it and make room for a new position.
Can I remove a canceled position from the Position Statement?
You can remove a canceled position by selecting it and clicking “Cancel." This will free up the position slot so that a new position may be added.
If I don't cancel a trade that did not open, what happens?
Canceled trades show up in the “Active Positions“ section with an error message. You can select the position and cancel it; if you don't, it will count toward your position limits.
Will I get notified of "Canceled" positions?

Do canceled positions count towards my bot position limits?
