How to remove open position in expired instrument from Demo account

PurpleHazeIan posted a topic in Feedback and Suggestions

I have, in a Demo spread-betting account, an open position in an expired instrument (NZD/USD Forward Mar-20). I cannot close this position because it's not available to trade. I can't set a Stop or Limit, to make it close when they are hit, for the same reason. Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of it? Thanks for your help. PHI

Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 69% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit. All trading involves risk.

The value of shares, ETFs and ETCs bought through a share dealing account, a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP can fall as well as rise, which could mean getting back less than you originally put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
