What Is a TP/SL Order?

A TP/SL order refers to the presetting of a trigger price, as well as the post-trigger order price and amount. When the market price reaches the trigger price, the order will be triggered and executed at the preset order price.
 
Parameters:
1. Trigger Price: When the "market price" reaches the "trigger price" set by the user, the TP/SL order will be triggered and the order will subsequently be placed.
2. Order Price: After the TP/SL order is triggered, the order will be filled according to the preset order price. The order price can be set to fill at a limit price or a market price.
3. Amount: The quantity of the order that will be placed after the trigger.
 
Note: After the market price reaches the trigger price you set, your order will be triggered and executed. However, if you set the limit price for stop-loss too high or the limit price for take-profit too low, your order may never be filled because the market does not reach or is better than your limit price.
 
 

👇 Example:

Assuming the current BTC price is 5,000 USDT. The trigger price of a TP/SL order can be set to 7,000 USDT, which is higher than the current price; or 3,000 USDT, which is lower than the current price. Once the market price reaches the trigger price (the market price rises to 7,000 or falls to 3,000), the TP/SL order will be triggered automatically and filled at the preset order price and amount.
 
Note:
  • Even if the market price reaches the preset order price before it reaches the trigger price, the order will not be triggered unless the market price meets the trigger price.
  • When the market price reaches the trigger price, it only indicates that the order will be triggered automatically; it does not guarantee that the order will be filled immediately. After the order is triggered, it will only be executed if the condition (order price) is met.
