Take Profit and Stop Loss (TP/SL)
Take-profit and stop-loss orders reduce or close an existing perpetual position. They cannot open a new position or increase an existing one.
Triggers activate from the index price, not the mark price or last trade:
| Position | Stop loss | Take profit |
|---|---|---|
| Long | Index at or below trigger | Index at or above trigger |
| Short | Index at or above trigger | Index at or below trigger |
The trigger price must not already be satisfied when the trigger is added.
Execution
When activated, the order attempts to reduce the position immediately. A limit price and order size may be specified. If no size is supplied, it attempts to close the full position.
Activation does not guarantee a fill. Available liquidity, the optional limit price, and market state still apply.
Take-profit and stop-loss orders may be added, edited, or removed. A position may have at most 16. They are canceled when the position closes or changes direction.
