TradersPost does not support automatic time-based trade exits, but traders can implement this in TradingView Pine Script or use broker-specific expiration settings like OSO orders in TradeStation.
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.
TradersPost currently requires manual deactivation of each strategy. A one-click disable option would simplify turning off all strategies, improving efficiency and risk management.
TradersPost allows traders to select calls, puts, or both, with specific rules for how buy and sell actions are handled. The system automatically flips sell signals for puts, though a future update may allow traders to customize this behavior.
To prevent a short signal from closing an open long trade in TradersPost, disable side swapping and isolate strategy sides. This ensures each strategy manages only its own trades.
TradersPost users can access broker logs to diagnose trade issues. These logs provide full transparency, helping traders troubleshoot problems before contacting broker support.
TradersPost supports running multiple strategies at different times using trading windows. This allows traders to automate morning and afternoon strategies without manual intervention.
OCO (One Cancels Other) orders allow traders to set stop-loss and take-profit exits that automatically cancel each other. TradersPost supports OCO orders for brokers that allow them, helping automate risk management.
There is no best trading strategy—different market conditions favor different approaches. Trend following is easier to manage than mean reversion, but all strategies experience periods of underperformance.
Coinbase and Robinhood do not support bracket orders, preventing TradersPost from integrating stop losses. Traders can use limit orders or manage exits manually as a workaround.
Tradovate does not support setting take profit and stop loss orders relative to the fill price. Due to execution delays and lack of conditional bracket orders, traders must either use predefined price levels or manage exits manually.
Estimating slippage requires tracking bid-ask spreads, placing small test trades, and considering market conditions. Trading on higher timeframes reduces slippage impact and improves trade reliability.
