If your TradersPost account becomes inactive, your open positions remain with your broker, but exit signals will not be sent. Learn how to manage trades in this situation.

If your TradersPost account becomes inactive due to a missed payment or subscription cancellation, you may wonder what happens to your open positions. The good news is that your positions remain open with your broker, but there are a few key things to keep in mind.

How TradersPost Handles Inactive Accounts

  1. Your Trading Signals Are Disabled
    • If your TradersPost account is suspended or canceled, your strategies will be disabled.
    • No new orders (entries or exits) will be sent from TradersPost.
  2. Your Open Positions Remain Unchanged
    • TradersPost does not automatically close open positions when an account becomes inactive.
    • Any open positions will still be active at your broker, meaning you must manage them manually.
  3. You Must Exit Positions Through Your Broker
    • Since TradersPost no longer sends exit signals, it is your responsibility to close open trades directly from your broker’s platform.
    • If you do nothing, your positions will remain open until you take action or your broker automatically closes them due to margin calls, stop-losses, or other broker-specific rules.

Key Takeaways

  • TradersPost will not force-close your positions when your account is inactive.
  • Your positions remain with your broker and must be manually managed.
  • Exit signals from TradersPost will not be sent, so you must close trades yourself.

For active traders, ensuring that your TradersPost subscription is up to date is essential to avoid losing automated trade management.

Conclusion

If your TradersPost account is suspended or canceled, your trading strategies will be disabled, but your open positions will remain active with your broker. To avoid unexpected risks, monitor your trades and manually manage them through your broker’s platform.
