Can you not withdraw from Bitmex if you have an open position?

[thegoatiest]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the hell out of Bitmex. I have shorted my coins by their usd value so that I won't lose any equity (in $)
Tomorrow I will request a withdrawal.
I had a look at the withdrawal page just now and it says i have 0 xbt available.
I presume this is because I have shorted my coins?

Cheers,
TG

If you still have an open position with the exchange, you cannot withdraw it. It’s like saying, “hey I would like to get out of the line but I would like to have my position there”. Just put your position on close, either in profit or loss.

I know in the accounts tab that you can see your available balance there. Please update if you can withdraw or not.

thanks. Yeah I figured it was something like that.
I'll update this thread tomorrow.
