The mobile kill controls

2 min read · updated 2026-10-03

On a phone the kill switch lives in the navigation menu. Tap the menu button (☰) at the top-left of any authenticated page and scroll to the Kill switch section at the bottom: Pause (which reads Resume while trading is paused), Cancel open orders, and Liquidate. All three are always listed, whatever you currently hold. The top bar on a phone does not carry kill-switch buttons; those sit in the top bar on desktop-width screens only.

What each control does

  • Pause stops new trades — the automatic engine and any manual order — while leaving positions and open orders alone; once paused it reads Resume.
  • Cancel open orders pulls every order still working at the broker.
  • Liquidate sells every position, after you type LIQUIDATE to confirm.

How a tap works

Tapping a control closes the menu and opens the same confirmation as on desktop (Liquidate still asks for the typed phrase before anything sells), and every stop acts on your real broker account across paper and live. With a keyboard attached, the kill-switch keyboard shortcuts open the same confirmations.
