What is stop loss and take profit?

Take profit and stop loss is a type of strategic order, which means setting the order and trigger conditions in advance. When the latest futures price, mark price or index price reaches the pre-set trigger price, the initially set order will enter the market at the order price, so as to achieve the effects of taking profit,

Take profit and stop loss is a very important concept in futures trading. When the direction of your contract is opposite to the market trend, it can stop the loss in a timely manner and preserve the funds. When the direction of your futures is in line with the market trend, taking profit in a timely manner can lock in the profits.

What is the trigger price?

The trigger price refers to the price at which a user's buy or sell order is activated and executed on the exchange server. In other words, when the market price reaches the trigger price set by the user, the order will be sent to the exchange server for execution.
