Exit Rules Reference

Automatic exit configuration for signals.

Overview

Exit rules automatically create an exit signal when an entry order fills. This enables strategies like:

• Close at market close (day trading)
• Close after N minutes (scalping)
• Close at specific time

Market Close Trigger

Exit at or near market close.

Immediate MOC Order

Place a Market on Close order immediately when entry fills:

{
  "exitRule": {
    "trigger": "market_close",
    "immediate": true
  }
}

The MOC order is submitted immediately and held by the broker until the closing auction.

Scheduled Exit

Exit N minutes before market close:

{
  "exitRule": {
    "trigger": "market_close",
    "minutesBefore": 5
  }
}

Field	Type	Default	Description
trigger	string	-	Must be "market_close"
immediate	boolean	false	Place MOC order immediately on fill
minutesBefore	number	0	Minutes before close to exit (0-30)
timeInForce	string	"cls"	"day" or "cls"

Time Trigger

Exit after a duration or at a specific time.

Duration After Fill

{
  "exitRule": {
    "trigger": "time",
    "durationMinutes": 60
  }
}

Specific Exit Time

{
  "exitRule": {
    "trigger": "time",
    "exitTime": "15:30"
  }
}

Field	Type	Description
trigger	string	Must be "time"
durationMinutes	number	Minutes after fill to exit
exitTime	string	Time in HH:MM format

note

Provide either durationMinutes or exitTime, not both.

5. Otherwise, exit signal is scheduled for later processing
