Trading Concepts

Multi-Leg Exits

A multi-leg exit lets a single trade get out in stages instead of all at once. Rather than one profit target and one stop-loss for the whole position, you can split the exit into as many as four separate legs, each with its own take-profit, its own stop-loss, and its own share of the contracts. It's the bot's version of "sell a little here, sell a little higher, let the rest run."

You set this up on the Strategies page under Risk & Orders, in the Exit Legs section.

The Exit Legs section in a strategy's Risk & Orders tab, where you split the exit into up to four legs

How it works

  • You decide how many legs to use (up to four) and give each one a take-profit, a stop-loss, and a percentage of the position.
  • The bot automatically splits your contracts across the legs to match those percentages. Any leftover contract that doesn't divide evenly is routed to the leg most likely to fill first.
  • On the Live Trades page, the active trade card shows each leg live and updates as each one fills, so you can watch the position peel off in pieces.
  • Once the trade is done, each leg gets a green or red based on whether that piece made or lost money.

Example

You hold 10 contracts and set four exit legs: sell 30% at +15%, another 30% at +25%, 25% at +40%, and let the final 15% ride with a −10% stop. As the price climbs, the bot books partial profits at each target along the way, and the last slice either reaches the highest target or stops out — so you lock in gains early without giving up all of the upside.

Tip

This is different from Multi-Tier Trailing. A trailing exit keeps the whole position together and tightens one stop as profit grows. Multi-leg exits break the position into parts with fixed targets. Some traders even combine the ideas — use multi-leg exits to scale out, with a trailing stop on the final leg.
