Allow side swapping

Normally, if a signal comes in for the opposite side, TradersPost will treat it like an exit signal by closing your position and stopping there. When this is turned on, we'll exit what you have and immediately open a new position on the opposite side.

Example: If you're long 5 and send a sell for 10, we'll exit your 5-long and enter a 10-short.

Note: In the example above, if you'd like us to enter a 5-short instead, be sure to enable the Subtract exit quantity from signal quantity option as well.

When to use it:

  • Your strategy changes direction quickly and you want it to reverse positions in one step instead of waiting for two separate signals.
