How to close a position without breaking the strategy

[morrnel]

I built this strategy that places me in a position either short or long. It also sets my stop loss and profit target. Very kewl. If I choose to stop the order, all I need to do is click on the <Stop> button. However, it breaks the execution of the strategy.

Is there a way I can add logic so that I can have a <Stop> button that get's me out of the situation?

Thanks!

Hello morrnel,

Thanks for your post.

You can add buttons to your strategy that can call ExitLong/ExitShort to close the strategy position from manual intervention. As the orders will be coming from the strategy, the strategy position will stay in sync with the account, and the strategy will not disable when the button is clicked

Please see the example from our User App Share below for how you can add buttons to a strategy.
