Reduce Only

Reduce Only ensures that orders strictly decrease an existing position, preventing accidental increases. When enabled, this safeguard helps traders close or trim positions without inadvertently expanding them.

How It Works

• The Reduce Only instruction is passed to the exchange on every order slice, ensuring that only position-reducing trades are executed.

• Prevents new position openings, limiting execution to position reductions only.

Considerations

• Not available on OKX, as the exchange does not support this functionality.

• Helps maintain risk control by preventing accidental exposure increases.

This setting is useful for traders who need to exit or scale down positions without risking unintended position growth.
