Example 1: Set a [Stop-Limit] when opening a position
Assume a scenario, after a careful analysis, Bob believes BTC’s key support will be near 19,000USD, so he triggers a [Stop-Limit] with 20 USDT.
If the BTC price drops to 16000 USDT, the support will be weak and the market may fall sharply. To avoid this slump, we should stop loss at the price of 16000 USDT. At the same time, if the price rises above 25000 USDT, there might be a fair price, so we could take profit at the price of 25000 USDT. Then he can choose to set a take-profit order and a stop-loss order at the same time when opening the position.
Notes:
Users can set either a take-profit order or a stop-loss order, or set both take-profit order and stop-loss order at the same time.
After the order is set, users should click [Open Long] to confirm the order.
Example 2: Set a [Stop-Limit] for an existing position
Assume Bob holds a long position of BTC/USDT Prep with an average price of 19,270.0 USDT, while the latest market price of BTC/USD is 19,314.0USD. If at this time Bob wants to set a [Stop-Limit]for the position, there are two methods as below:
Method 1: set by price
Notes: For Long Position, the take-profit price entered is required to be higher than the latest price when holding long positions, while the stop-loss price is required to be lower.
Method 2: Set by profit rate
Notes: The profit rate set to take profit is required to be higher than that of the current position, while profit rate set to stop loss is required to be lower.
