### Basic selectors:

* Always enabled rule: by default, all the rules are enabled once created
* Always disabled rule: if you want to disable a rule but not deleting it for now
* L - Enable a rule when a long trade is active: only enable the rule for long trades or positions
* S - Enable a rule when a short trade is active: only enable the rule for short trades or positions

#### Selectors will allows you to filter rules when you want them to be active or not.

For example, you want to use the feature: "Market Stop loss at 3%". However, you want to stop loss at 3% only for your short positions but not for longs.&#x20;

That means, this feature will only be activated for short positions. This allows you to set up a different % for your long position if you'd like, by selecting  ![](/files/wVu91JK93UjudRcSI55U) on a new different rule.

You can pick selectors for every rule available on Runbot.&#x20;

#### You can also create a custom Selector which will be active only for a specific signal you have choosen.

When creating a custom selector, you can decide either to enable or disable a rule when the selector is active. \
You can also request the selector to be activated if there is at least, or at most, or exactly a specific amount of signals.
