The Close All button is placed where it is very risky for accidentally clicking it.

Secure the Close All button with a password requirement.

I think an additional confirmation window would be sufficient.

there are other people who have accidentally hit the Close Out button. This is very damaging. Even though turning it off on Quick Trade provides some protection, this possibility of an accidental Close All greatly limits the number of positions an account can hold. Once the number of position reaches a high level, the potential disastrous situation is always looming.

I think close all should be a double click to prevent accidentally closing. A password may take to long to enter.
However, I might suggest that close all should be limited to what is displayed, by this I mean, if you 1 pair filtered and click close all, it should close all that is filtered (displayed). This would be both useful and more intuitive in my opinion. I did accidentally close a position which I did not have on my filtered positions, completely forgetting about the other pair because it was doing well but realizing after I see the positions being closed...
