# OOL Pause

Out-of-Limit (OOL) Pause is a configuration that controls how the engine handles periods when the market price moves outside the specified limit price.

### **How It Works**

* When OOL Pause is **enabled**, the engine will pause execution when the market price is outside the limit price. These periods are not included in the execution schedule.

* When OOL Pause is **disabled**, the engine will attempt to "catch up" after a period when the market was outside the limit price, resuming execution to meet the original schedule.

### **Considerations**

* Compatibility: OOL Pause cannot be used with strategies that target a participation rate, such as Target Participation Rate, Market Maker, and Aggressive Maker.
* Default Setting: This configuration is disabled by default.
