Trigger Logic​

When the rule is enabled, the system checks all open positions that match the rule settings.
📌 Swaps are canceled for these positions for the specified period in the rule settings.

  • If a position was already open before enabling the rule and matches the criteria, the swaps-free period will be adjusted accordingly.
  • If "Set Free Period Start Date" is enabled, swaps will be canceled starting from the specified start date for the defined period.
  • If "Set Free Period Start Date" is disabled, the swaps-free period starts from the moment the position was opened.

Trigger Effect​

  • When the trigger activates, all swaps accumulated for the position up to the current day are reset to zero.
  • If the trigger later becomes inactive for the same position (i.e., conditions are no longer met), swaps will no longer be reset, and accumulation will resume from that point onward.

📘 Example​

Assume the following:

  • Use volumes = ✅ enabled
  • Max allowed lots = 10
  • Position size = 5 lots
  • Swaps Free Period, Days = 14 days
  • Position opened on: 2025-05-01
  • Set Free Period Start Date = 2025-05-01
  • Current date = 2025-05-10

Since:

  • 5 ≤ 10 (lot size is valid)
  • The position is 9 days old (≤ 14 days)
  • Current date (May 10) is within the promotion period (May 1 → May 15)

➡️ Trigger is active. All swaps on this position will be reset to zero.

If the position remains open until 2025-05-20, the trigger becomes inactive (swap-free period ends), and swap accumulation resumes from that date.
