## Exit logic comparisons

Freqtrade allows your strategy to implement different exit logics.

Freqtrade allows your strategy to implement different exit logic using signal-based or callback-based functions.

This section aims to compare each different section, helping you to choose the one that best fits your needs.

* **`populate_exit_trend()`** - Vectorized exit logic based on the dataframe

**Use** to define exit conditions based on indicators or other data that can be calculated in a vectorized manner.

🚫 **Don't use** to customize exit conditions for each individual trade, or if trade data is necessary to make an exit decision.

* **`custom_exit()`** - Custom exit signal, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed.

* **`custom_stoploss()`** - Custom stoploss, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed. The value returned here is also used for [stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchangefreqtrade).

**Use** to customize the stoploss logic to set a dynamic stoploss based on trade data or other conditions.

🚫 **Don't use** to exit a trade immediately based on a specific condition. Use `custom_exit()` for that purpose.

* **`custom_roi()`** - Custom ROI, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed.

**Use** to customize the minimum ROI threshold to exit a trade dynamically based on profit or other conditions.

🚫 **Don't use** to exit a trade immediately based on a specific condition. Use `custom_exit()` for that purpose.

🚫 **Don't use** for static roi. Use `minimal_roi` for that purpose instead.

* **`custom_exit()`** - Custom exit logic that will exit a position immediately, called for every open trade at every bot loop iteration until a trade is closed.
10+
**Use** to specify exit conditions for each individual trade, or if trade data is necessary to make an exit decision, e.g. using profit data to exit.

🚫 **Don't use** when you want to exit at candle close (use a `populate_exit_trend()` signal instead), or as a proxy for `custom_stoploss()`, and be aware that rate-based exits in backtesting can be inaccurate.

* **`custom_stoploss()`** - Custom trailing stoploss, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed. The value returned here is also used for [stoploss on exchange](stoploss.md#stop-loss-on-exchangefreqtrade).

* **`custom_roi()`** - Custom ROI, called for every open trade every iteration until a trade is closed.

**Use** to specify a minimum ROI threshold ("take-profit") to exit a trade at this ROI level at some point within the trade duration, based on profit or other conditions.
