What Is EOD Flatten and Why Prop Traders Need It

If you're funded by a prop firm trading futures, there's a good chance your firm restricts holding positions overnight. EOD flatten is the automation feature built to enforce that rule automatically.

What EOD Flatten Does

EOD flatten automatically closes every open position at a specific time you configure — regardless of whether a trade is in profit or loss.

Why This Matters for Prop Firms

Many firms treat an overnight hold as a rule violation regardless of outcome. A single missed manual close can get an account flagged or closed.

Configuring It Correctly

Flatten should trigger a few minutes before your firm's actual cutoff, not right at it, to account for execution delay.

Beyond Overnight Rules

EOD flatten is also a risk management tool — it means you're never carrying yesterday's open risk into a new session.

Xiznit Bot includes EOD flatten as a core feature, along with blackout periods and daily loss limit awareness.
