# Stop signal

Stop signals are used to exit a position. 

If you are currently in a long position, and your general strategy triggers a stop signal thanks to the[ Indicators Box](https://docs.runbot.io/strategy-boxes/indicators-box), and it meets your [Exit position rules Box](https://docs.runbot.io/triggers-boxes/exit-position-rules) requirements, the long will be immediatly closed.

It can be used only with the [TP/SL Signal](https://docs.runbot.io/triggers-boxes/exit-position-rules/tp-sl-signal) feature in the [Exit position rules Box](https://docs.runbot.io/triggers-boxes/exit-position-rules).
