# How to Transfer a Position

Molecule provides a quick-and-easy way to move a **position**, or a quantity not related to a trade, to another book. This can be done via the trade entry screen.

Note that this is different from transferring a trade. For more on that topic, see [How to Transfer a Trade](/core-functionality/core-features/specialized-features/trades/trade-amendments/how-to-transfer-a-trade.md).

#### Enter the Destination Position

Enter the destination position as a trade, using a product that represents the thing being transferred. In the Tags field, enter the **destination** book. In the Counterparty field, consider entering your own company.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set the Transfer Source

Open the "More" panel below the standard trade entry fields, and enter a book in the **transfer source** field.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save the Transfer

The Save button will turn into a **Save Transfer** button. Click it to complete the transfer — Molecule will book two trades.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The first trade reverses the position (in terms of the Product and Quantity entered) from the book in the **transfer source** field. The second adds the position into the book entered in the **Tags** field.
