# OpenTradex — Close Position

Close an open paper position and book realized P&L.

User arguments: `$ARGUMENTS` — `<position-id> [price]`.

## Flow

1. If no id was given, show the user all open positions so they can pick:
   !`node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" positions`
   Then ask which one to close.
2. Close it:
   !`node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" sell $ARGUMENTS`
3. Report realized P&L and the new open-position count. If P&L is negative and large (abs > $50), offer a one-line coach note: "Want me to review what went wrong before the next trade?"

## Rules

- Never modify another user's position.
- If the id isn't found, say so clearly and re-show open positions.
- Don't re-enter a position automatically after a close.
