# Strategies (Plugins)
[](http://docs.octopitrader.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/image7.png)
Overall, there are three types of Plugins available categorized by time of effect: Placement, Pre-Fill, and Post-Fill. Each category will work at an appropriate time only. There is a column for Available vs Active to separate which plugins have been configured for specific Strategy. You may use Add >> or << Remove buttons, as well as double-click to check and configure Actively selected plugins.
Last Target Runner - converts last configured target (dynamic, see Order Trimming above) to take a larger configured target to allow for “runner”.
Example: order configured for 5 contracts, Max Risk allowed 3 contracts to enter, this plugin will take 3rd target and change it’s value to configured plugin value.
Cancel After Time - cancels strategy entry at expiration of configured number of bars since entry request. This will work with Renko bars as well.
Cancel Trade Signal - allows to cancel placed trade before it gets filled if any of the configured cancellation signals match. You can have multiple.
Exit After Interval - configurable trade exit after N number of bars. Good for strategies that should not be in more than N bars even if target/stop wasn’t reached yet.
Trade Cooldown - Prevents consecutive entries of the same strategy for configured number of bars or time.
