Exit breakeven offset

When a signal uses the breakeven action, TradersPost sets the exit order price (stop and/or limit, depending on order type) from the position’s average entry price. The Exit breakeven offset is a dollar amount added or subtracted (short) from that average so the exit is slightly better than true breakeven.

• Long positions: exit price = average entry price + offset (e.g. average $100, offset $1.50 → $101.50).
• Short positions: exit price = average entry price − offset (e.g. average $100, offset $1.50 → $98.50).

The value must be between 0.001 and 100 (in the position’s quote currency). Leave blank if you don’t want an offset (exit at exact average entry).

Allow signal override: If you enable Allow signal override for exit price and the webhook sends a breakevenOffset, that value is used instead of the strategy’s Exit breakeven offset for that signal.

Breakeven (with or without offset) is only used when the broker supports position average entry price and the exit order type is stop or stop-limit.

Example webhook payloads

Breakeven at the strategy’s exit breakeven offset (or at exact average entry if no offset is configured). The orderType field is required for breakeven and must be stop or stop_limit:

{
    "ticker": "SPY",
    "action": "breakeven",
    "orderType": "stop"
}

Breakeven with a per-signal offset (e.g. $5 above average entry for a long). Requires Allow signal override for exit price if you want to override the strategy’s Exit breakeven offset; breakevenOffset must be between 0.001 and 100:

{
    "ticker": "SPY",
    "action": "breakeven",
    "orderType": "stop",
    "breakevenOffset": 5
}
