The exit point is visually indicated on a chart by an Arrow and a Tick. The Arrow identifies the time and the Tick identifies the price value of the exit point. Labels, displaying the exit name and the number of contracts or shares traded, are displayed below the Cover Arrow.

=== Exit next bar at limit ===
<syntaxhighlight>Next Bar At Price Limit</syntaxhighlight>
A Cover Arrow will be placed on the next bar at the first tick with a price value less than or equal to [[Price]] ; if there are no such ticks within the next bar, the order will be cancelled.

A Cover Arrow will be placed on the next bar at the first tick with a price value equal to or greater than the [[Price]] ; if there are no such ticks within the next bar, the order will be cancelled.
