Exit Shorts First squares off your short legs before the long (hedge) legs, so you are never left with a naked short while the hedge is still open. This helps avoid margin-related error executions.
Where to find it
Strategy builder → Advanced Settings → Tranching section.
When it applies
- Set exits
- Universal Exits
- The Exit button on the Deployed page
