Take profit / Stop loss

An optional field appears at the bottom of the form. By clicking “Add,” you can include take-profit and stop-loss orders to your position.

A take-profit or stop-loss order will automatically close your position when the underlying asset reaches a specific price.

You can always edit your TP/SL after the position is open. You can learn more about it there.
