![Take Trades Parameter](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/948b8c26d046a000/image_z1gi11.png)

This parameter checks when is the first time and last time the Entry/Exit conditions are checked.

For example: If you want the first trade to be after 930AM, you can set **First trade after exchange opens** to 15mins.

For example: If your strategy has set the 'Universal Exit' to trigger at 15:25, you need to set **last trade before exchange closes** to 2 mins, so that conditions are checked till 1528, if you set it to 5mins, the universal exit still may not trigger as it would stop the condition check at 15:25:00 and will not provide enough time for condition checking
