STC real shares are closed using the FIFO rule. FIFO is an abbreviation for First-In-First-Out. In the context of the financial market, FIFO is a rule regarding the order in which orders are executed by a broker.

​

According to the FIFO rule, the first order that is opened must be closed first, before closing subsequent positions that were opened later. This means that the Client cannot choose which specific positions he wants to close and which he wants to leave open.

​

You can close a position on real shares on the xStation platform in two ways:

1. By clicking on the red cross on the open position line

2. By opening a new order window on a given instrument and after adjusting the volume you want to close, clicking the SELL button.

🚩This is not applicable to Clients who opened an account with XTB Limited (CY).
