When Exit Shorts First is enabled in Advanced Settings, manual exit follows leg-wise execution instead of exiting all legs immediately.
Key Behavior
- On clicking Exit Strategy manually, the short leg exits first
- The remaining leg exits based on the configured Advanced Settings
- Until all legs are exited, the strategy stays in Exit Pending mode
Example
Example Scenario
- Exit Shorts First → Enabled
- Take Trades – Start Condition Check After Exchange Open → 1 hour
- Manual exit clicked at 9:15 AM
Result:
- Short leg exits immediately at 9:15 AM
- Buy leg exits at 10:15 AM
- Strategy remains in Exit Pending mode till 10:15 AM
