Stops

The stop command is designed to be easy to use and has a few different options for placement.

Market Stops

Place a Market stop. You can do this with or without an open position.

CommandDescriptionExample

stop at <price>

Quick & easy placement with an open position, uses the open position's size, price can be absolute, relative or percentage

stop at 0.1%, stop at -100, stop at 18500

stop buy at <price> stop sell at <price>

Same as above, use this if you have a hedged position open

stop buy at +100, stop sell at 1%

stop <size> at <price>

Use specific size. Useful for partial stop

stop 500$ at 1%

stop buy <size> at <price> stop sell <size> at <price>

Same as above, but needed for hedged position Also useful if you don't yet have a position open
