What is a Fixed Price Stop Loss?

A Fixed Price Stop Loss closes your position when the market reaches a specific price you define. It is the simplest and most predictable stop-loss type, ideal for traders with clear invalidation levels.

What is a Trailing Stop Loss?

A Trailing Stop Loss is a dynamic stop that follows the price as it moves in your favour but stays fixed when price moves against you. For long positions: New SL = Current Price − (Current Price × Trailing %). This locks in profits while giving the trade room to grow.

What is a PNL Trailing Stop Loss?

A PNL Trailing Stop Loss tracks your profit in USDT terms rather than price levels. It activates after reaching a specific profit threshold and trails by a fixed USDT amount below your highest profit, protecting gains on large positions.

What is a Break-Even Stop Loss?

A Break-Even Stop Loss moves your stop to your entry price once a predetermined profit target is reached, ensuring you cannot lose money on the trade even if the market reverses.

What is an AI Automated Stop Loss?

The AI Automated strategy uses machine learning to analyse market conditions, volatility, momentum, and support/resistance levels in real time. It continuously adjusts your stop-loss and take-profit levels without manual intervention.

What are Stacked Take Profits?

Stacked Take Profits allow you to scale out of a position at multiple price targets rather than exiting all at once. For example, close 33% at TP1, 33% at TP2, and the remaining 34% at TP3.

Q: What is a Volatility-Based Stop Loss?

A Volatility-Based Stop Loss uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set stop distance. In volatile markets the stop is placed further away; in calmer markets it is placed closer. Formula: Stop = Entry Price − (ATR × Multiplier) for long positions.

🔒 Fixed Price Stop Loss

The most straightforward strategy. Set a specific price level — when the market hits it, your position closes automatically. No ambiguity; ideal when you have a clear technical invalidation level.

How it works

Enter an exact stop price. The system continuously monitors market price and closes the trade the moment price crosses the threshold.

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_price": 40000.0,
  "fixed_stop_price": 38500.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "FIXED"
}

When to use it

Use when you want to exit at a known support/resistance level, below a key swing low, or at a predefined risk dollar amount translated to a price.

Best for: Beginners, traders with clear chart levels, and anyone wanting maximum predictability.

💵 Fixed PnL Stop Loss / Take Profit

Exit when your position reaches a specific USDT profit or loss — regardless of the price level. Perfect when you think in dollar terms rather than percentages.

Stop Loss by PnL

Close the position if unrealised PnL drops to a defined negative USDT value.

{
  "symbol": "ETHUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "stop_loss_pnl": -150.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "FIXED_PNL"
}

Take Profit by PnL

Close the position once unrealised PnL reaches a target USDT gain.

{
  "symbol": "ETHUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "take_profit_pnl": 300.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "FIXED_PNL"
}

Pro Tip: Fixed PnL is especially useful for leveraged positions where percentage moves translate to large dollar swings — it keeps your risk management in familiar dollar terms.

📊 Fixed Percentage Stop Loss

Set a percentage distance from your entry price. The platform calculates the exact stop price automatically and monitors it continuously.

Long position

Stop Price = Entry Price × (1 − Stop %)

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_price": 40000.0,
  "fixed_stop_percent": 3.5,
  "stop_loss_type": "FIXED_PERCENT"
}
// Stop fires at 40000 × (1 − 0.035) = 38600

Short position

Stop Price = Entry Price × (1 + Stop %)

{
  "symbol": "ETHUSDT",
  "position": "short",
  "entry_price": 3000.0,
  "fixed_stop_percent": 4.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "FIXED_PERCENT"
}
// Stop fires at 3000 × (1 + 0.04) = 3120

🔄 Trailing % Stop Loss

A dynamic stop that follows price as it moves in your favour, but stays fixed when price moves against you — locking in profits while giving the trade room to breathe.

Configuration

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_price": 40000.0,
  "trailing_percent": 2.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "TRAILING"
}

Formulae

Long: New SL = Current Price × (1 − Trailing %)
Short: New SL = Current Price × (1 + Trailing %)

The stop only moves in your favour — never against you. Once a new high (long) or low (short) is set, the stop updates accordingly.

Best for: Trend-following strategies where you want to stay in a winner as long as momentum holds.

📈 Trailing PnL Stop Loss

Tracks your profit in USDT terms rather than price levels. The stop only activates after you hit a profit threshold, then trails by a fixed USDT offset below your peak profit.

{
  "symbol": "BNBUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "quantity": 20.0,
  "trailing_activation_pnl": 200.0, // activate at +$200 profit
  "trailing_pnl_offset": 100.0,  // trail $100 below peak
  "stop_loss_type": "TRAILING_PNL"
}

Activation Threshold

The trailing stop does nothing until your unrealised profit reaches the activation level. This prevents premature triggers on small fluctuations.

Dollar-Based Protection

Tracks actual money made rather than percentage moves — ideal for large or leveraged positions where $100 matters more than 0.25%.

🌊 Volatility ATR Stop Loss

Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to set a dynamically sized stop distance. In volatile markets the stop is placed further away; in calmer markets it is placed closer — preventing premature stop-outs.

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_price": 40000.0,
  "atr_period": 14,
  "atr_multiplier": 2.0,
  "stop_loss_type": "VOLATILITY"
}

Formulae:

Long: Stop = Entry Price − (ATR × Multiplier)
Short: Stop = Entry Price + (ATR × Multiplier)
Typical values: ATR period 14, multiplier 1.5 – 3.0

Why ATR? ATR measures the average range of price movement over a period. A stop sized to 2× ATR is statistically unlikely to be hit by random noise, so you only exit when there is a genuine move against you.

⚖️ Break-Even Stop Loss

Once your trade reaches a specified profit level, the stop is automatically moved to your entry price — ensuring you can no longer lose money on the trade even if the market reverses entirely.

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_price": 40000.0,
  "profit_trigger": 1.5, // move to BE once +1.5% profit
  "profit_unit": "percent",
  "stop_loss_type": "BREAKEVEN"
}

How It Works:

Long: When price ≥ Entry + (Entry × Trigger %), move SL to Entry Price
Short: When price ≤ Entry − (Entry × Trigger %), move SL to Entry Price
Once triggered, the break-even stop behaves like a Fixed stop at entry.

⏱️ Time-Based Stop Loss

Automatically exits your trade after a specified duration, regardless of price. Prevents capital being trapped in stagnant trades — ideal for day traders and event-driven setups.

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "entry_time": 1681234567000,
  "time_limit": 48,
  "time_unit": "hours",
  "stop_loss_type": "TIME"
}

How It Works:

Close position when Current Time ≥ Entry Time + Time Limit
Supported units: minutes, hours, days
Combine with another SL strategy for maximum protection

📡 Indicator-Based Stop Loss

Uses technical indicators (Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, RSI) to determine dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. Best for technically driven trading decisions that adapt to market structure.

Moving Average

Exit when price crosses a MA of your chosen type and period. Keeps you in strong trends.

{
  "stop_loss_type": "INDICATOR",
  "sl_type": "MA",
  "sl_period": 20,
  "sl_ma_type": "EMA"
}

RSI

Exit based on momentum exhaustion — ideal for mean-reversion and trend-following setups.

{
  "stop_loss_type": "INDICATOR",
  "sl_type": "RSI",
  "sl_value": 30,
  "sl_period": 14
}

Bollinger Bands

Exit when price touches or breaks outside a band — captures volatility expansions.

{
  "stop_loss_type": "INDICATOR",
  "sl_type": "BB",
  "sl_period": 20,
  "sl_bb_std": 2.0
}

🛡️ Liquidity Sweep Guard

Crypto markets are notorious for stop hunts — a sharp wick that pierces a key level to trigger stops, then immediately reverses. The Liquidity Sweep Guard watches for this pattern and waits for the candle to close before deciding whether to exit, protecting you from fake-outs while still exiting cleanly on real breaks.

How the Guard works

When price crosses your stop-loss level, the bot does not exit immediately. It waits for the current candle to close, then checks the candle's closing price:

Candle closes above SL → it was a wick sweep — the SL is repositioned to the candle's low + a small buffer (no exit)
Candle closes below SL → real break confirmed → position closes immediately

Hard Stop override: If price drops more than X% below your SL at any point (default 0.5%), the position is closed immediately regardless of the candle — preventing catastrophic loss on a genuine crash.

Configuration

{
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "position": "long",
  "stop_loss_type": "LIQUIDITY_SWEEP",
  "fixed_price": 41000.0,   // your SL level
  "lsg_timeframe": "5m",   // candle to watch
  "lsg_hard_stop_percent": 0.5, // hard stop override
  "lsg_buffer_percent": 0.1  // buffer above wick low
}

Supported timeframes: 1m · 3m · 5m · 15m · 30m · 1h · 2h · 4h

What is a Liquidity Sweep?

Market makers and institutions know where retail stop-losses cluster (just below swing lows, round numbers, etc.)
They briefly push price through those levels to trigger the stops and collect liquidity, then reverse
The Liquidity Sweep Guard detects this by checking if the candle closed back above your SL — if so, it was a hunt, not a real break

Decision flow per Celery tick (every 10 s)

1. Current price < SL AND price < SL × (1 − hard_stop%)  →  EXIT immediately (hard stop)
2. Current price < SL (first crossing)                         →  Record candle open time, set state = TRIGGERED
3. State = TRIGGERED, candle still open                         →  Wait, do nothing
4. State = TRIGGERED, new candle has opened (prev candle closed)
   • Closed candle close > SL  →  SWEEP — reposition SL to candle_low × (1 + buffer%)
   • Closed candle close ≤ SL  →  REAL BREAK — EXIT position
