What it does
Scales out — reduces the position size by the configured amount while keeping the rest open.
What happens
Fires when its gate input is true — or every candle if it has no gate — and translates into an order or position change in the backtest and live engine.
When to use
Partial profit-taking and de-risking without fully exiting.
Gotchas
- Configure how much to reduce.
- It only reduces — it never opens or reverses a position.
