Exit-only signals and exit actions are now documented as available without a trading-window toggle, so the feature request framing has been corrected while the trading-window limitation remains.
Can You Block Entries While Allowing Exits?
TradersPost supports exit-only signals that block new trade entries while still allowing exit signals1. This enables traders to prevent new positions from opening while ensuring that existing positions can still close based on strategy rules1.
Currently, trading windows allow traders to specify active trading times, but exit signals outside the trading window remain limited2.
Suggested Solution: “Allow Exits Outside Trading Window” Checkbox
• A new setting that enables exits outside the trading window while disabling entries2.
• 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 Outside Trading Window” setting in TradersPost trading windows would give traders more control over when their strategies exit trades2. This feature would help ensure open positions can still be managed properly outside the trading window2.
