The Retest Stop-Loss & Target feature allows Smart Exit to confirm price movement before triggering an action. Instead of executing immediately when your defined Target or Stop-loss level is crossed, Smart Exit waits for the level to be re-tested within a selected time.
This helps reduce exits caused by temporary price spikes or short-term volatility.
Retest Works
When Retest is enabled:
- Your overall account-level P&L must first cross the defined Target or Stop-loss level.
- Smart Exit then waits for the P&L to re-test that same level.
- The re-test must occur within the selected real-time duration (1 to 50 seconds).
- If the re-test happens within the selected time, Smart Exit triggers based on your chosen mode (Exit or Alert Only).
- If the re-test does not occur within the selected duration, Smart Exit will not trigger.
Time is measured in real-time seconds and not based on chart timeframes.

Important Notes
- Retest works at the overall account P&L level, not per individual position.
- It applies to both Target and Stop-loss conditions.
- If Exit mode is selected, eligible positions are closed using a Market order with Protection (MPP) once retest conditions are satisfied.
- If Alert Only is selected, only a notification is sent.
- Retest remains active across trading days as long as Smart Exit remains active.
What If…
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|
| My P&L crossed the Stop-loss but exit did not occur | If Retest is enabled, the P&L must re-test the level within the selected seconds. If it does not, Smart Exit will not trigger. |
| My P&L re-tested after the selected duration | Smart Exit will not trigger because the confirmation window expired. |
| I selected Alert Only | You will receive a notification after retest confirmation, but positions will remain open. |
| I do not enable Retest | Smart Exit will trigger immediately when the defined level is crossed. |
| I modify the retest duration | The new duration applies immediately after clicking Modify. |
