Entry & Exit Rules
Build signal logic with indicators, conditions and targets — and define how trades close.
Entry rules
Each entry rule is Indicator/Price → Condition → Target:
- Indicator/Price: EMA, SMA, RSI, MACD, Supertrend, ATR, VWAP, price (close/high/low), and more.
- Condition: crosses above / crosses below / greater than / less than / equals.
- Target: a fixed Value or another Indicator.
Add multiple rules to require several conditions together (AND logic). Each indicator exposes its settings (e.g. EMA period = 9).
Signal timing: Trigger on Candle Close evaluates rules once per completed candle — the most stable choice and what backtests assume. Intra-candle modes react faster but can be noisier.
Exit rules
Trades close on the first of whatever you enable:
- Stop Loss — % / points / ATR-based.
- Target Profit — % / points / R-multiple.
- Trailing Stop — ratchets the stop as price moves in your favour.
- Time-based exit — close after N minutes.
- Move SL to breakeven — after a defined % gain.
- Square-off time — intraday positions flatten automatically (e.g. 15:15).
For options, these can be applied to the premium as a managed bracket — see Options Strategies and Monitoring & Brackets.
