Is there a recommended way to exit a position once an insight's magnitude has been achieved? Add a limit sell order when the initial entry is made in the execution model? The problem with this is the insight would still be considered active.

Hi Fabien,
There is no recommended way to exit a position once an Insight's magnitude has been achieved. That being said, one way to implement this is to keep track of the security price as the initial Insight is emitted, and once it reaches the target price (initial_price * (1 + magnitude)), emit a flat Insight (InsightDirection.Flat) to cover the rest of the first insight’s period. As for limit sell orders for Insights, try creating a custom Execution Model.
Best,
Shile Wen
