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.

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

Conclusion
