Signal Limits (Advanced Settings)

The Advanced Settings on the Canvas control how many signals your strategy can generate. Without limits, a condition that flips true repeatedly can open many positions in quick succession - these two settings keep that in check.

Max Concurrent Signals​

How many positions can be open at the same time.

  • Set to 1: no new entry is taken until the previous position has exited. Most strategies want this.
  • Set to Unlimited: a new entry fires every time the condition becomes true, even while earlier positions are still open.

Max Signals in a Day​

How many entries can be taken per day, regardless of exits.

  • Set to 1: after the first entry of the day, the strategy takes no more entries until the next day - even if the condition becomes true again.

How the two work together​

Both limits apply at once. Example: Max Concurrent = 1, Max per Day = 3 means at most one open position at a time, and at most three entries across the whole day.
