Why did my strategy hit Stop-Loss after leg adjustments, even though it was in profit?

Strategy-level TP and SL are calculated based on the current Strategy Entry price.

  • If you add a new leg, the Strategy Entry price gets recalculated.

  • If you exit (square off) an individual leg, the Strategy Entry price does not reset for the remaining legs.

When you modify TP/SL values, the system recalculates the trigger levels using the prevailing Strategy Entry price.

If the current Strategy LTP has already crossed the revised threshold, the TP/SL may trigger immediately.

To avoid this:

  • Review the current Strategy Entry price before modifying TP/SL.

  • If you prefer a fresh cost basis, consider exiting the strategy and creating a new one.
