Take profit and stop loss orders

🚀 TP/SL Orders on RocketFi

Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) orders automatically close your position when a target profit or loss is reached. These are triggered using the mark price, ensuring consistent execution even during volatile market conditions.


📊 Chart Interaction

  • TP/SL orders can be dragged and adjusted directly on the TradingView chart for intuitive control.


⚖️ Market vs. Limit TP/SL Orders

RocketFi allows users to choose between Market and Limit TP/SL orders:

  • Market TP/SL Orders

    • Execute immediately upon trigger.

    • Default slippage tolerance is 10%.

  • Limit TP/SL Orders

    • Users set a specific limit price.

    • This controls slippage tolerance.

    • More aggressive limit prices increase the chance of execution but may result in higher slippage.

Example:

  • A Stop-Loss order to close a long position with:

    • Trigger Price: $100

    • Limit Price: $100 → If the price drops from $110 to $90 instantly, the order may rest at $100 and not fill.

  • If the Limit Price is set to $80, the order is more likely to fill between $90 and $80.


📌 TP/SL Orders Linked to Your Position

  • TP/SL orders created from the position form default to the full size of your position.

  • These orders aim to fully close the position when triggered.

  • If a specific size is set, the order becomes fixed-sized and won’t adjust with position changes.

Beginner-Friendly: Position-based TP/SL orders are ideal for new users due to their simple setup and cancellation process.
