Focus on Entry Signals

The feature empowers traders to devise and apply their entry strategies without worrying about the subsequent exit calculations. Once your entry is set, TradersPost automatically determines the stop loss and take profit orders relative to that entry price, enabling a seamless transition from entry to exit.

Advantages of Automated Exit Calculations

  • Streamlined Process: By automating exit orders, you can dedicate more resources to analyzing and identifying the best entry points.
  • Precision and Consistency: Automatically calculated exits ensure that your strategy is executed with the precision and consistency required for effective risk management.
  • Eliminate Manual Errors: With TradersPost handling the calculations, the risk of manual errors in setting exits is significantly reduced.

Implementation in Your Trades

After you've pinpointed the perfect entry signal for a trade, TradersPost's Relative Stop Loss and Take Profit feature kicks in. For example, if your strategy identifies a prime entry point for a stock, TradersPost will automatically calculate and place exit orders at the percentages you've pre-set, freeing you from the hassle of manual calculation.
