Close Strategies

Four ways to close

Every position needs an exit. ProFunding gives you four strategies depending on how much you care about speed vs. price.

Market close

Both legs close instantly at market price.

• Speed: Immediate
• Slippage: Highest. You're crossing the spread on both DEXs
• Use when: Funding just flipped, you need out now, or the position is small enough that slippage doesn't matter

Slow close

Places a limit order first. If it doesn't fill within the timeout, falls back to market.

• Speed: Minutes. Depends on the timeout you set
• Slippage: Lower. You're posting on the book instead of crossing
• Use when: Position is large enough that market slippage hurts, but you don't need to exit in the next 10 seconds

The Activity Log shows the limit order status in real time. If partial fills happen, the remaining size falls back to market.

TWAP close

Splits your position into N slices and closes them over time. Each slice executes as a market order at regular intervals.

• Speed: Slow. You define the duration
• Slippage: Lowest. Smaller orders move the book less
• Use when: Large positions on thin books. Breaking a $10k close into 10 orders of $1k over 20 minutes avoids slamming the orderbook

TWAP closes run server-side: close the tab and the job keeps slicing. Progress, per-slice fills, and skips render in the position card's operation panel, and you can cancel anytime. Slices skip automatically when the book is too thin to fill within your slippage cap.

Find the Exit

Peak-exit automation. A server-side job that slices you out only at favorable moments and force-closes before the next funding tick would charge you.

• Speed: You set the max wait; it uses as much of it as the market justifies
• Slippage: Lowest realistic. Every slice must be profitable after slippage on both legs
• Use when: You want the best exit the market will give you and there's no urgency

See Find the Exit for how the gate, slice sizing, and safety rails work.

Which strategy for which situation

TP/SL and auto-close via Guard

Every open position has a Guard bar that bundles TP, SL, and funding-flip auto-close into one panel. Pick Cloud mode (runs 24/7 on the backend when your tab is closed) or Browser mode (runs in the tab only).

• Take-profit. Close when mark price rises above your target. Quick buttons: +1%, +2%, +5%, +10%
• Stop-loss. Close when mark price drops below your stop. Quick buttons: -1%, -2%, -5%, -10%
• Funding flip. Close the moment net hourly funding turns negative

Cloud mode lets you choose Alert only (Telegram message) or Auto-close (both legs close at market). Browser mode always auto-closes.

See Position Management for the full walkthrough. For limit-style or multi-condition exits, use the MCP watch_position tool.

Whichever way a position closes, a dimmed receipt card stays in its place showing the PnL, funding, close method, and full close log until you dismiss it (see Position Management).
