Papasmurf,
The only way to get out of that is to be actively watching the market, power off the server and close your positions manually.
It's a pain. A nice feature would be to close all positions at market price before halting the trade engine. This would at least allow us to liquidate our position without taking a bath.
So as it turns out, I'm not the only one that can't really use the software. .85BTC was a lot of money a few weeks ago. I hope they get it fixed soon. I really would like to use it still once it's functional.
It seems like everything stopped working and running backwards after the last update.
