A position control should begin with a clear intention. Are you opening history to understand the holding, or reviewing an amount you might sell? For this lesson, we will inspect a fictional Paper review and stop before submission. You can learn what each field means without sending an order. On your own account, remain in read-only inspection if you are only following the demonstration.

Choose the intended position row before opening Sell. The review identifies the asset and indicates a Paper simulated order or a Live market order. Recheck that context inside the dialog, then read Owner or strategy, Account or connection, and Position ID. If any of those details do not match your intention, close the unsent review and investigate the correct holding.

Read Owned, Available, and Reserved as separate quantity information. An owned amount is not always an amount that can all be included in a new request. Reserved quantity here refers to position availability; it should not be confused with the dollar Profit Reserve from the cash lesson. Follow the labels and any explanation or restriction in the review rather than forcing a larger amount into the field.

You can enter a quantity or use the percentage controls. After using a shortcut, inspect the resulting number of units. Do not assume the percentage means that share of all your holdings, all owners of the coin, or your whole account value. This is a review for the selected position, with its own availability limits. The exact amount matters more than the convenience of the shortcut.

Our demonstration begins with ten available example units and enters four units to sell. The review can show an estimated amount of proceeds and a remaining quantity. At twenty-two dollars per unit, the simple estimate is eighty-eight dollars, with six units remaining if four actually execute and nothing else changes. The price-based estimate is not a guaranteed final receipt, especially in a changing market.

Review sale opens the confirmation stage. Read the quantity, asset, estimate, and mode again. Place sell order is the action that submits the request; reaching the review stage alone does not submit it. If the amount or context is wrong, use the available back or close controls before submission. Our teaching example stops at that boundary and does not ask you to make the trade.

Selling part of one position is also different from stopping automation. Do not assume a position-level Sell action disables its strategy, cancels a subscription, or closes other positions. Broader portfolio or trading controls have their own scopes and confirmations. If your intention concerns the whole trading setup, a single row's review is not enough evidence that you are doing that broader task.

Finish the practice by explaining what the unsent request would ask for: four units from this exact Paper position, with an estimated amount and a remaining quantity. Then close the review. If a real request had already been submitted, closing would not cancel it; you would follow its status and records. Being able to explain that difference is the key skill on this page.
