FAQ on Guaranteed Stop-Loss
1. What is guaranteed stop-loss?
Guaranteed Stop Loss (GSL) is a paid risk management feature designed to help traders handle extreme market volatility. When you place a Guaranteed SL order, your stop-loss is guaranteed to execute at the trigger price you specify. This helps cap maximum losses and effectively eliminates slippage risk.
2. What is the difference between guaranteed stop-loss and a regular stop loss?
Understanding the difference between guaranteed SL and regular stop loss orders is essential for effective risk management. A regular stop-loss is typically executed at market price once triggered. During periods of high volatility, significant slippage may occur, causing the final fill price to deviate from your intended stop price. A guaranteed SL ensures execution at the specified trigger price regardless of market conditions, providing a more stable and predictable exit.
3. Which trading pairs support guaranteed SL?
Guaranteed SL is only available for selected trading pairs. Refer to the actual display on the trading or order placement page to confirm whether a specific pair supports guaranteed SL.
4. Which trigger price types are supported by guaranteed SL?
Guaranteed SL only supports the last price as the trigger price. Triggering based on fair price, mark price, or index price is not supported.
5. Is there a fee for using guaranteed stop-loss?
Yes. Using guaranteed stop-loss incurs an additional fee. Fees are set per trading pair, and the applicable rate is shown on the trading page.
6. When is the guaranteed stop-loss fee charged?
The fee is charged only when the order is triggered and successfully filled:
- Not triggered: no fee
- Triggered but not executed: no fee
- Triggered and filled: fee charged
7. How is the fee calculated?
The fee rate varies by trading pair and is generally calculated based on the notional value of the filled stop loss order. Example:
- GSL fee = Filled notional value × GSL fee rate
- Notional value (USDT-M example) = Filled quantity × fill price
Note: Refer to the trading page for the exact fee rate.
8. Does guaranteed stop-loss guarantee execution?
Guaranteed SL is designed to execute when trigger conditions are met, but it does not guarantee that triggering or execution will always succeed. In extreme market conditions, system congestion, or other exceptional circumstances, trigger delays, trigger failure, or non-execution may occur. If a guaranteed stop-loss order is not triggered or not executed, no fee will be charged.
9. Can I modify or cancel a guaranteed stop-loss order?
Yes. You can modify or cancel a guaranteed stop-loss through the TP/SL settings in your order or position. Any changes will take effect immediately based on the latest settings.
10. Why can't I see the Guaranteed Stop Loss option?
If the guaranteed SL option is not visible, possible reasons include:
- The current trading pair does not support guaranteed stop-loss
- The feature is unavailable for certain regions, account types, or risk levels. Please refer to on-page notices for applicable restrictions
