There may be several reasons why a position has been closed. Information about closed transactions can be checked both in the mobile app and on the web platform.
📱 Mobile app
To check closed transactions in the mobile app, go to Portfolio, then select My trades, and open the Closed tab. This view displays all closed positions along with basic information about their execution.
🖥️ Web platform
To verify the detailed reason for closing a position on the web platform, go to the History tab located at the top of the platform and then select Closed positions.
Next, set the appropriate date range and confirm your selection.
In the list of displayed positions, check the Comment column, where abbreviations indicating the reason or source of the position closure are most commonly shown:
TP (Take Profit) – indicates that the position was automatically closed after reaching the profit level previously set by the Client. A Take Profit order allows profits to be secured without the need for constant market monitoring.
SL (Stop Loss) – indicates that the position was automatically closed after reaching the loss level previously set by the Client. A Stop Loss order is used to limit potential losses in the event of an unfavorable price movement.
SO (Stop Out) – indicates that the position was automatically closed by the system due to an insufficient level of funds on the account (required margin). The Stop Out mechanism is designed to protect the Client from further losses and to prevent a negative account balance.
Remember that your position may also be closed as a result of expiration. CFD positions (except for Stocks CFDs and ETF CFDs) are closed without the Client's consent after 365 days from the date of opening the position at the first price provided by XTB after this period.
