Ignore exit signals

The Ignore exit signals setting allows you to process only entry signals from your strategy while ignoring any exit signals that are sent.

When enabled, TradersPost will still create and execute entry orders as usual. However, any exit signals will be ignored. This gives you the flexibility to manage exits manually or through another system while continuing to automate entries through your strategy.

Use Cases

You might enable Ignore exit signals if:

• You want to manage risk or take profits manually while keeping automated entries active.
• You use a separate strategy or discretionary logic to handle exits.
• You want to test or debug entry behavior without triggering exit orders

Behavior Details

• Entry signals are still processed normally based on your strategy logic, including same-side add signals that increase an open position.
• A resize signal is treated as whichever signal it stands in for. A resize to a larger target grows the position and still executes. A resize to a smaller target, or to 0, is an exit written a different way and is ignored exactly as an exit signal is. A resize that is already at its target reports that instead, because there is no exit to block.
• Exit signals will be received and logged but will not result in an order being submitted.
• If you attempt to enter a position in the opposite direction (for example, a short entry while a long position is still open), TradersPost will reject the new entry because the existing long position could not be exited.
• Disabling Ignore exit signals restores normal behavior, allowing TradersPost to process both entry and exit signals.
