Journey in Strategy builder is a feature that lets you define what should happen after a leg exits by allowing new legs, called child legs, to enter based on that exit. It helps you create a structured flow where trades do not stop at the first exit but continue in a controlled sequence.
In simple terms, journey allows you to link multiple legs together so that the exit of one leg can trigger the entry of one or more child legs.
How journey works
Journey works at the individual leg level. To enable journey for a leg, you must set a target or a stop-loss for that leg. Without defining a target or stop-loss, the journey option cannot be enabled.
Once journey is enabled, that leg becomes the main leg. You can then configure child legs that will enter or re-enter after the main leg exits. Each child leg can have its own settings, allowing you to create a separate execution path instead of repeating the same action.
This creates a journey flow where the strategy progresses from the main leg to child legs based on how each leg exits.
Using child legs in journey
Child legs are the legs that enter after the main leg exits. You can define different child legs with different rules, strikes, or behaviour, depending on your strategy logic.
Each child leg follows the journey flow and executes only when the condition defined by the previous leg’s exit is met.
Features that work with journey
- Move SL to cost.
- Wait & trade.
- Range breakout.
Features that do not work with journey
- Re-entry / re-execute.
- Square of all legs
Journey limits and configuration
For each main leg you can create up to 5 child legs.
Important notes
- Journey can be enabled only after setting a target or stop-loss for the leg.
- Journey is designed for structured execution using child legs and not for repeated re-entry logic.
- If " Square of all legs" is enabled while addings legs, "Journey" feature will not appear.
- You will not be able to modify strategy while it is running.
