# No end trade check

### Overview

The **“No End Trade Check”** rule is an entry condition modifier that controls whether your strategy **immediately re-evaluates trade entry conditions after a position closes**.

By default, Runbot does **not** check entry triggers instantly at the end of a trade. Instead, entry is re-checked:

* On the **next indicator update** that modifies a signal, or
* On the **next trade-triggering event** (like a new candle or market condition)

This setting gives you **explicit control** over that behavior.

### What This Condition Does

When **enabled**, it tells Runbot:

> ❌ **Do not** check the entry conditions right after closing a trade.\
> ✅ Wait for the next relevant update or signal change.

This prevents **immediate re-entry** into a trade based on old or unchanged signals.

### Why Use It?

This is especially useful for:

* **Pari-mutuel strategies** that reset after each round
* Avoiding accidental back-to-back trades due to unchanged signal states
* Maintaining consistency with strategy logic

***

### Default Behavior

* This rule is **enabled by default** on **older strategies** (to preserve current behavior)
* It is **not added automatically** on **new strategies**, but can be toggled manually in the strategy editor.

### Related Rule: No Previous Trade

If you want to delay re-entry for a specific number of candles after a trade, consider using the **"No Previous Trade (N candles)"** condition instead.
