Stop Automation Action in FYERS Automate
The Stop automation action in Automate is used to immediately halt a running automation when it reaches a preset trigger, condition, or exit path.
Depending on the option selected, it can either stop the automation alone or stop it and square off positions.
This action is commonly used for exit conditions, profit booking, and risk management.
What does Stop automation do?
When a Stop automation node is executed:
The automation stops immediately.
No further triggers, conditions, or actions are evaluated.
Any future scheduled runs are halted unless the automation is manually started again.
What happens to open positions depends on the specific stop option you choose.
Types of Stop automation
FYERS Automate provides three Stop automation options in the Actions panel.
1) Stop automation
Stops the automation immediately.
Does not square off any positions.
All open positions remain active in the market.
Configuration: Add the Stop automation action to the canvas and connect it to the required trigger or condition.
2) Stop automation and square off positions
Stops the automation immediately.
Squares off all open positions in the account, including manual trades and positions from other automations.
Configuration: Add the Stop automation and square off positions action to the canvas and connect it to the required trigger or exit path.
3) Stop automation and square off current positions
Stops the automation immediately.
Squares off only the positions created by the current automation.
Positions from other automations or manual trades remain untouched.

Always use Stop automation and square off current positions when running multiple automations to avoid closing unrelated trades.
