When you place orders through the Order Ticket, a User_Trader is created. The User_Trader is a composite tracker of all manual orders, and the resulting positions and P&L, for the selected contract. The User_Trader is not relevant to automated strategies.
The User_Trader appears in the Strategies table with the name username_Trader (if your user name is ABC, it will appear as ABC_Trader). In order to view it, you must be able to view the Strategies table (see Viewing and Hiding the Strategies Table).
You can choose to stop a User_Trader, or to delete it, in which case all manual orders for this contract are canceled, and all positions are closed with a Market order. User_Traders are stopped or deleted in the same way in which strategies are stopped and deleted. For an explanation of how to stop or delete a strategy, see the Managing Strategies section on page 14. As a rule, the system deletes User_Traders and all associated orders automatically at the end of each session, even if you save your portfolio.
You can also specify End time parameter by clicking on End time field of User_Trader strategy, then all working orders will be cancelled and all open position will be closed on a specified time you define
There is one exception to this rule - see Overnight Positions feature.
