# Exit Conditions The **Exit Conditions** section allows traders to define precise logic for automatically closing active positions. Each exit rule uses the same set of market conditions available in the [**Long** and **Short** entry configurations](/backtesters/bigbeluga-strategy-builder/entry-conditions.md#long-short-entry-conditions) — including structure breaks, order blocks, divergences, liquidity events, or oscillator reversals — but is applied strictly for **trade management and exit execution**. ***
*** Traders can assign up to two exit conditions for both long and short positions.\ Each exit rule can be configured with: * **Direction filter** *(Bullish/Bearish)* — determines when the signal is valid for exit. * **Condition type** — defines the event that triggers the trade closure (e.g., Break of Structure, FVG Retest, Divergence, Liquidity Grab, etc.). *When an exit condition is met, the system automatically closes any active position of the corresponding direction — ensuring precise, rule-based trade management without manual intervention.* *** The **Long/Short Exit Conditions** module completes the backtesting framework by introducing **automated position management**.\ It ensures every strategy tested under the **BigBeluga Backtester** adheres to consistent exit logic, minimizing emotional bias and enhancing accuracy in performance evaluation. By mirroring entry condition flexibility, the exit system allows full creative control — from structure-based exits to momentum or liquidity-driven reversals — enabling traders to test how each exit method impacts long-term profitability and drawdown behavior. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
