What is the Re-Entry/Re-Execute feature in strategy builder?

The Re-entry / Re-execute feature in Strategy builder allows a strategy to automatically enter trades again after a position exits due to a target or stop-loss being hit. This helps traders continue participating in the market without manually re-entering positions.

This feature is configured at the individual leg level and works only when automation is enabled.

What is re-entry?

Re-entry allows the same leg to enter again after it exits, provided specific price conditions are met.

When a leg exits due to a target or stop-loss, Strategy builder checks whether the price comes back close to the previous entry price. If the condition is satisfied, the leg enters again automatically.

Re-entry does not happen immediately. It is evaluated after the exit, and the new entry is triggered only when the re-entry condition is fulfilled.

Re-entry with wait and trade

If wait and trade is enabled along with re-entry, the re-entry price is derived using the wait and trade logic instead of entering immediately.

Once the re-entry condition becomes valid, Strategy Builder will attempt to re-enter at the entry price of the first order.

What is re-execute?

Re-execute works differently from re-entry. Instead of re-entering the same leg at the previous price level, Strategy builder runs the original entry logic again after an exit.

This means the strike selection, entry price calculation, and other entry rules are re-applied. The new entry may happen in a different strike based on current market conditions.

When re-execute is triggered

Re-execute is triggered after a leg exits due to a target or stop-loss.

Re-execute with wait and trade

When wait and trade is enabled with re-execute, Strategy builder first re-runs the entry logic to select the strike and capture the reference price.

The wait and trade condition waits for the underlhying price to arrive at the required levels as per wait and trade settings..

Maximum number of re-entries

You can define how many times a leg is allowed to re-enter or re-execute.

This limit controls how many times the strategy can enter again after the initial entry. Once the maximum count is reached, no further re-entry or re-execute will occur for that leg.

Important behaviour 

  • The re-entry or re-execute feature cannot be changed once the strategy is active.




Notes

  • Re-entry re-enters the same leg near the previous entry price, while re-execute runs the full entry logic again.
  • Re-entry and re-execute work only after a target or stop-loss based exit.
