TradersPost users want a setting to block new trade entries while still allowing exits. An “Allow Exits Only” checkbox would improve risk management and strategy flexibility.

Can You Block Entries While Allowing Exits?

A highly requested feature for TradersPost is the ability to block new trade entries while still allowing exit signals. This would enable traders to prevent new positions from opening during specific times while ensuring that existing positions can still close based on strategy rules.

Currently, trading windows allow traders to specify active trading times, but there is no setting to allow only exits while blocking new entries.

Suggested Solution: “Allow Exits Only” Checkbox

• A new setting within the trading window that enables exits while disabling entries.

• Ensures that traders can close open positions without accidentally opening new trades.

• Helps strategies manage risk by preventing entries during volatile or illiquid periods.

Why This Feature Is Important

Improves Risk Control – Prevents unwanted trades during off-hours while allowing exits.

Enhances Strategy Flexibility – Traders can adjust strategy behavior without disabling it entirely.

Widely Requested – Multiple traders have suggested this feature, highlighting its usefulness.

Conclusion

An “Allow Exits Only” setting in TradersPost trading windows would give traders more control over when their strategies enter and exit trades. This feature would help prevent unwanted entries while ensuring open positions can still be managed properly.
