Will TradersPost Add a Delay Feature for Trade Execution?

Is a Delay Feature Available in TradersPost?

Currently, TradersPost does not support a built-in delay feature for incoming trade signals. However, this request has come up frequently, and the development team is considering adding it in the future.

The idea behind a delay feature is to control when trade signals are executed, especially since TradingView offers limited tools for managing timing, sequences, and delays.

Alternative Solutions for Trade Timing

Before implementing a delay feature, TradersPost is working on two upcoming improvements that could solve similar issues:

1. Trade Grouping with Execution Order Control

• In the future, traders will be able to group multiple trade orders into a single message.

• They will have the option to execute them concurrently (all at once) or in serial order (one after the other).

• This would help ensure trades execute in the correct sequence without needing artificial delays.

2. Broker-Side Handling

• Some timing-related issues are better handled at the broker level rather than by adding a delay in TradersPost.

• Traders should first check if their broker provides native solutions for order sequencing or conditional execution.

Potential Issues with Adding Delays

While a delay feature might seem helpful, introducing artificial timing controls can create additional complexity:

• Traders would need additional functions to cancel or modify delayed orders.

• A queue system could become difficult to manage if multiple signals are pending.

• Execution delays could lead to missed trades or unfavorable market conditions.

Conclusion

TradersPost does not currently support a delay feature, but trade grouping and execution order control will be introduced in the future. These improvements will help traders manage order timing without artificial delays, ensuring a more reliable event-driven system.
