Algos, strategies, code

Everyone, I am very new to this platform so don’t understand the basics clearly. So sorry if I am asking any silly question.

When I was looking at zerodha pi backtest screen for testing some strategy, I did not understand what is “Exit long” and “Exit Short”.

Well I understand that sell=Short and buy=Long.

so if we have buy script and sell script tabs then what so different in exit long and exit short.

please advice.

Go Long …as u correctly understood it means ‘Buy’…So exit long will Sell all positions whatever you have bought,whether in profit or in loss…
Vice versa applies for Short positions…
