Why was my spread exit not sent because legs are missing?
When only some legs of a spread are open at your broker, Nyria sends no exit and closes nothing. The bot log reads Spread exit not sent: only some of its legs are open at your broker, then names the missing legs and the open ones. If none are open it reads Your broker shows no open position in any leg. Close the remaining legs at your broker.
Official documentation
Fix a spread exit that was not sent
- 1
Read the log line
Open the bot's Logs tab. The entry names the missing legs and the legs Nyria found open.
- 2
Check legs closed by hand
Open your broker and look for legs you closed outside Nyria.
- 3
Check the entry
Open the bot log for the entry itself. A leg that never filled shows there.
- 4
Close what is left
Close the remaining legs at your broker. Nyria sent nothing, so nothing else has changed.
- 5
Keep hand trades out
Use an account with no manual trades in it, so the legs Nyria tracks stay the legs your broker holds.
Why Nyria sends nothing
- An exit for a spread needs every leg open.
- With some legs gone, an exit could open a new position at the broker instead of closing one.
- So Nyria sends nothing and the log says which legs are missing.
Two versions of the message
- Only some legs are open: the log lists the missing and the open legs.
- No leg is open: the log says your broker shows no open position in any leg.
Common causes
- You closed one leg by hand.
- A leg never filled when the spread was entered.
- The broker assigned or closed a leg itself.
Questions
- Does Nyria close the legs that remain?
- No. It sends nothing for this exit. Close the remaining legs at your broker.
- Where do I find which legs are missing?
- In the bot's Logs tab. The entry names the missing legs and the ones it found.
- Is this the same as a partial fill?
- Related. A partial fill leaves an unbalanced spread. This message appears when a later exit finds some legs gone.
- Will the exit run again by itself?
- Nyria does not retry. Close the legs at your broker, then the next entry alert starts fresh.
- What does it cost?
- Paper is free. Live trading from $15 a month.
