# Exit signal override

This feature allows slave accounts **to delay or ignore exit signals** from the master account, with options to define a wait time and to apply the override only when both Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) are set.

**Key Options:**

* **Ignore for seconds:** This setting allows you to delay exit signals from the master account for a specified number of seconds. During this time, the connected account will not act on the signal, giving trades a chance to continue without immediate closure. A value of 0 indicates that the exit signal will be ignored indefinitely.
* **Only if TP/SL are set:** When this option is enabled, the override will apply only to trades where both Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) levels are defined. If either TP or SL is missing, the exit signal from the master account will not be overridden.

**Benefits:**

* Maximize profit by holding positions longer to reach TP levels.
* Avoid unnecessary exits by ignoring exit signals under certain conditions.
* Gain more control over trade behavior on slave accounts.

This feature is ideal for users who prefer to optimize trade outcomes on slave accounts while still leveraging the signal copying capabilities of MetaCopier.
