Your exits, handledIn The Barrel
Once you're in the wave, In The Barrel tells you when to act and exactly how: take profit, roll, defend or get out.
Works on: Your open trades
How In The Barrel works
Most traders have a plan to get in and a hope to get out. In The Barrel makes the exit as clear as the entry. Log your trade once, and it tracks every position in one panel, sorted so the one that needs you is on top, with the exact broker steps when it's time to act.
One status per trade
🟢 HOLD, nothing to do. 💰 TAKE PROFIT, lock in the win. 🟡 TRAIL or DEFEND, protect it or fix it now. 🦈 SHARK SIGHTING, get out now.
WHEN and HOW
Each action shows the trigger with its live reading, then the exact order: numbered steps, Buy or Sell to Close or Open, contracts, strikes, PUT or CALL, expiry, LIMIT price and DAY. Beginners get every step spelled out.
Exits for every options trade
Credit spreads, Iron Condors, debit spreads, cash-secured puts, covered calls and the wheel, Jade Lizards and short puts. Take profit on schedule, roll for a credit, or close, with an automatic time exit at 21 days left on longer trades.
Exits for stocks and futures
A stop that only tightens, take-profit at yesterday's key levels or by R-multiples, a weekly trail for swing runners and a flat-by time for day trades. Point values for NQ, MNQ, ES and MES are built in.
