Exits and the scale out ladder
In the Trades step, set Exit type to Scale out (multiple targets) to sell in stages instead of all at once.
How a ladder works
Each level has a target, an amount to sell, and an optional trailing stop that turns on after the level before it fills.
| Setting | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Target as | Percent or Price | Set it on the first level. Every later level uses the same one. |
| Target | a number, or AI | AI lets Atlas pick the level while it runs (loop workflows). |
| Amount to sell | a number, a percent, or remaining | The last level should sell remaining, so nothing is left over. |
| Move stop to | a level, breakeven, or keep | The trailing stop that guards the run into the next target. |
| Loop | on or off | With loop on, Atlas checks again after each fill and can move later targets or exit early. You get a message when it changes something. |
Rules the form checks for you
- One target type. Every level is all percent or all price. You cannot mix.
- Cover it all. The amounts must add up to the whole entry. A remaining amount always covers the rest. Fixed amounts must add up to the size, and percents must add up to 100.
- Fast moves. If the price jumps past a few targets at once, they all fill together, so you do not miss one.
Tip
Each time the loop actually changes your trade (moves a target or closes the rest early), it uses one request, the same as opening a trade. A check that leaves the trade alone is free. See Plans and how you get charged.
