Retries

Configure how TradersPost handles retries when a trade fails to create an execution plan. Retries only apply to errors that occur before execution — during the trade planning stage. If an error happens after a trade plan has been created (during order execution), TradersPost will not retry to avoid the risk of creating duplicate orders.

Retries

Choose whether TradersPost should automatically retry failed trades.

  • No retries — The trade will fail immediately with no retry attempts.
  • Allow retries — TradersPost will automatically retry failed trades based on the configuration below.

Max Retries

The maximum number of retry attempts that TradersPost will make if a trade fails to plan. For example, setting this to 5 allows up to 5 retry attempts before giving up.

Delay in Milliseconds

The initial delay between retry attempts, in milliseconds. For example, 1000 means the first retry will occur 1 second after the failure.

Delay Multiplier

Controls exponential backoff for retries. Each retry will wait longer than the previous one, multiplied by this value. For example:

  • Delay = 1000 ms
  • Multiplier = 2
  • Retry 1 after 1s, Retry 2 after 2s, Retry 3 after 4s, etc.

Max Delay in Milliseconds

Sets the upper limit for how long the delay can grow between retries. Even with a large multiplier, the delay will not exceed this value.


Example Configuration

Setting Example Value Description
Retries Allow retries Enables retry attempts
Max retries 5 Up to 5 retries
Delay 1000 First retry after 1 second
Delay multiplier 2 Delay doubles each time
Max delay 10000 Delay capped at 10 seconds

With these settings, TradersPost will retry up to 5 times, with increasing delay intervals until either the trade succeeds or the retry limit is reached.
