+- **Expected value**: true/false
+- **Default value**: false
+- **Usage**: if this parameter is set to true, OpenRAO will continue optimizing curative states even if preventive state
+  is unsecure.
+  If this parameter is set to false, OpenRAO will stop after preventive if preventive state is unsecure and won't try to 
+  improve curative states.
+
+  *Note: Only applied when ["preventive-stop-criterion"](#preventive-stop-criterion) is set to SECURE. In this case, if preventive was unsecure,
+second preventive won't be run, even if curative cost is higher, in order to save computation time*

 ### Range actions optimisation parameters
 These parameters (range-actions-optimization) tune the [linear optimiser](/castor/linear-problem/linear-rao.md) used to optimise range actions.
