| ------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `status`      | string  | `success` or `error`                                        |
| `run_id`      | integer | Current run containing the leg                              |
| `leg_id`      | integer | Leg requested by the caller                                 |
| `run_stopped` | boolean | True only when this call already proved the last owner flat |
| `exits`       | array   | Exit result for the leg                                     |

## Notes

* `leg_id` is the configuration id in `data.legs[].id` from [Strategy Status](/api-documentation/v1/strategy-rms-api/status.md), not an order or run id.
* A normal broker acknowledgement is asynchronous, so `run_stopped` is usually `false` even for the last leg. A later fill can finalise the run.
* A refused exit, an unfilled entry, a non-open leg, or a missing current run returns HTTP 409 and does not open an opposing configured-size position.
* Manual leg closure does not invoke trail-to-entry for the remaining legs.
