This scale-out plan is available as a deterministic call, workflow.run_scale_out: useful for bots or AI agents that need the realized profit and remaining risk at each take-profit level.

What assumptions and edge cases does this calculator use?
Entry price and total size must be above zero. Give 2 to 10 exit levels, each with a price above zero and a percent above 0 and at most 100, adding up to no more than 100 (the rest stays open). Fees are fractions from 0 to 0.05 (defaults 0.0002 and 0.0005). Not covered: the part left unsold, funding, slippage and the chance that each level is reached.
What is scaling out of a position?
Scaling out means closing a position in multiple partial exits at different price levels rather than all at once. This locks in profits incrementally and reduces the risk of giving back gains if price reverses before your final target.
How is P&L calculated at each exit?
P&L per exit = (exit price − entry price) × size × direction, minus open and close fees allocated proportionally to that exit size. Long positions profit when exit price is above entry; short positions profit when exit price is below entry.
What is the weighted exit price?
Weighted exit price = Σ(exit price × exit size) / total exited size. It is the effective average price at which you closed your position across all exits, useful for comparing against your entry to summarize overall performance.
What happens to the remaining position?
The remaining position is whatever percentage of the original size has not been assigned to any exit level. The calculator shows remaining size and percentage. You can let this run to a further target or close it manually.
