Legwise Settings

Your strategy can have many legs (up to 10). Let’s assume that your strategy has two legs, CE and PE, and you want to play around with them in a backtest.

For example if you want a strategy where if one leg's SL hits then the other leg is also squared off or if one leg's SL hits and the other leg's stop loss moves to entry price. These things you can be done with Legwise settings.

Square Off

The :Square Off feature enables you to chose if you want to square only individual leg if SL hit of that leg or want to square of all legs if SL/Target hit of any individual leg.

Square Off Partial

This feature enables you to squareoff only that leg whose Target/SL is hit.
One leg SL/Target hit doesn't impact other leg.

Legwise Settings

Example :- Assume you created a strategy
Entry :- 09:20
Leg 1:- ATM CE Buy
Leg 2 :- ATM PE Buy
Positon :- Buy
SL :- 25 Points
Leg-Wise Setting :- Squareoff Partial

Legwise Settings

Imagine at 09:20 both CE & PE took entry. At 09:44 CE Sl hit.
Now according to Squareoff partial feature this CE SL hit will not impact other leg. Each leg will work normally.

Square Off Complete

This feature enables you to square off all the legs in a strategy if any leg Target/SL is hit.
Assume your strategy have two legs ATM CE Buy and ATM PE Buy. Now if ATM CE Buy leg SL hits, then it will squareoff the other leg immediately as well.

Legwise Settings

Example :- Assume you created a strategy
Entry :- 09:20
Leg 1:- ATM CE Buy
Leg 2 :- ATM PE Buy
SL :- 25 Points
Leg-Wise Setting :- Squareoff Complete
