You will want to place Exit order for a contract for many
reasons:
Use it to protect yourself if the market goes south
(if you are long) or north (if you are short). Then when you are ready
to exit the contract you can cancel the exit order and place a new
one.
Use it to exit an contract you have profited from, the
contract does not fit your trading practices, the potential for the
contract is not what you want, you feel the value will not go where
you want it to, etc.
To start the ball rolling in exiting an order select the money
bag from the main menu.
