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.
