Programmers using the Collective2 API to place trades automatically, I encourage you to look at the newest version of the API documentation (reachable via the link in the left menu bar that says API, or at [www.collective2.com/api](http://www.collective2.com/api)). The docs have been cleaned up a little, and, more important, several new commands have been introduced. These include:
**cancelallpending** - cancels all pending orders
**closeallpositions** - closes (at the market) all open positions
**getbuypower** - request information about yoru system’s available buying power
The ability to close all positions and cancel all trades at the touch of a button will also be introduced to the main Web site (that is, non-API users) when the new software version is released in the next week or so. I know a lot of users have requested these features, and they have been a long time coming.

MK,
Great additions.
I will be adding the Close all to my programs…but it looks like the close all has a sessionid that should not be there.
