### Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL)

* **Take Profit (TP):**
  * Automatically closes the position to secure profits at a target price.
  * Default TP = **500%.**
* **Stop Loss (SL):**
  * Automatically closes the position to limit losses at a target price.

> TP/SL orders cannot be canceled once created, but you can edit them.

{% hint style="info" %}
A cap on take-profits is currently enforced as a risk control measure. Over time, this threshold may be raised or removed entirely, if ongoing risk analysis shows that the safeguard is no longer required
{% endhint %}

### Slippage

Define the maximum acceptable difference between the expected price and the actual executed price.

* Applies only to **Market Orders**.
* Not applicable to **Limit Orders**.
  * When the price is reached and the order is executed, the execution price will be adjusted by the slippage.

### Fees

* **Open Fee** and **Execution Fee** are charged when opening positions.
* Fees are deducted together with collateral from your wallet.
* Positions with **500x, 750x, or 1000x leverage** do not incur an Open Fee.

For details, see [Fee Breakdown](/docs/trading/fee-breakdown.md)

{% hint style="info" %}
Each position you create under the same trading pair is treated as an **independent position**. They are **not merged**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If the maximum Open Interest (OI) for Long or Short positions in a trading pair is reached, new positions in that direction will be **temporarily suspended**.\
This mechanism helps maintain market stability by avoiding oversized positions that could distort price dynamics.
