3. The condition builder detects whether the leg is long or short and triggers the target or stop loss correctly.
4. You can add several Leg Exits. The leg exits on whichever is true first.

Important

Use Leg Exit and Leg TSL only when the entry leg trades once per counter. They do not work for re-entries.
