Exit Strategy
Cash Out Feature Guide
Cash out can reduce exposure, but it can also reduce long-term value if used emotionally. This guide explains full and partial exits, timing logic, and repeatable rules that keep decisions consistent under pressure.
Cash out principles
- Use pre-defined exit conditions.
- Avoid panic-based full exits.
- Partial exits can reduce variance.
- Review outcomes, not just emotions.
01
Basics
What cash out is and what it is not
Cash out is an optional early-settlement mechanism based on current market valuation of your open position. It is not a guaranteed value optimizer. Sometimes it protects bankroll variance; sometimes it sacrifices expected value for certainty.
The quality of the decision depends on your original rationale, new match information, and risk tolerance.
Partial cash out
Reduces exposure while retaining upside. Useful for structured risk reduction in volatile phases.
03
Timing
Balancing certainty with expected value
Early exits can reduce emotional stress and drawdown, but repeated low-value exits can harm long-run results. Define objective triggers ahead of time, such as lineup shock, injury event, or game-state transition.
Planned rules improve consistency and reduce reactive mistakes in live sessions.
Example trigger framework
| Pre-set condition met | Partial exit to reduce variance |
|---|---|
| Original edge invalidated | Full exit considered |
| No material change | Hold position per initial plan |
04
Mistakes
