Selling one position and requesting sales across a portfolio have very different scope. This page explains the wider controls using a demonstration. You do not need to sell your whole Paper portfolio to complete the lesson. The skill is to understand what would be requested, which positions are included, and what evidence would show that the separate actions succeeded.

In the desktop summary, Potential Cash Realize opens the portfolio-wide sale review when available. The amount is an estimate, not cash already in your account. Opening the review does not submit the sales. Inspect the positions listed below the estimate, including each owner or strategy, account or connection, position identity, and available quantity.

Each row creates its own sell request. Holdings with the same symbol but different owners are not combined into one anonymous balance. If a position cannot be identified or the list cannot be loaded correctly, the app can block submission. That is a reason to refresh and reconcile the information, not a reason to guess which holding a total must represent.

The two choices are labeled Sell all and continue trading, and Sell all and pause trading. The first requests the reviewed sales without requesting a trading pause. It does not turn an already paused system back on simply because the word continue appears. If automation is running and remains allowed to trade, closing positions does not prevent later activity.

The second choice requests the reviewed sales and also requests a trading pause. These are separate operations. The current flow handles the position requests and then asks for the pause. Do not picture one instant switch that guarantees every holding disappears and all activity stops together. You must inspect both the position outcomes and the pause confirmation.

One position might fill while another is not confirmed. A request might be accepted without a confirmed fill, or accounting may still need to catch up. A pause can fail independently of the sales. Read each row's result and any overall message. Trading pause confirmed is useful evidence about the pause; it does not certify that every sell request filled completely.

If a retry is offered within the same portfolio review, it follows the existing plan of requests rather than treating the portfolio as a fresh, unrelated batch. Still, inspect unresolved rows and records before taking another action. Closing and reopening a review is not a substitute for knowing what the earlier requests did. Keep the request details needed to follow up.

Your summary should answer two questions separately: which quantities were actually sold, and is trading confirmed paused or still able to continue? Then compare the refreshed positions and cash with the recorded activity. All in a button label describes the requested scope, not a guaranteed outcome. That distinction lets you supervise a broad action without assuming that one response tells the whole story.
