1. What Is a Guaranteed Stop-Loss?

    

Guaranteed Stop-Loss is a feature designed to reduce stop-loss slippage risk.

During periods of extreme market volatility or price gaps, the actual execution price of a regular stop-loss order may deviate significantly from the preset stop-loss price. After enabling Guaranteed Stop-Loss, the system will attempt to close the position at the preset stop-loss price whenever possible, helping reduce additional losses caused by slippage during extreme market conditions.

  

  

2. What Is the Difference Between Guaranteed Stop-Loss and Regular Stop-Loss Orders?

   

Common stop-loss methods include Market Stop-Loss, Limit Stop-Loss, and Guaranteed Stop-Loss. Each method may perform differently under extreme market conditions.

  

I. Market Stop-Loss

A Market Stop-Loss executes as quickly as possible at the best available market price, but the final execution price is not guaranteed.

During rapid market movements, the actual execution price may deviate significantly from the preset stop-loss price.

II. Limit Stop-Loss

A Limit Stop-Loss places a limit order at the preset price.

If the market moves through the preset price too quickly, the order may only be partially filled or may fail to execute entirely.

III. Guaranteed Stop-Loss

A Guaranteed Stop-Loss attempts to close the position at the preset stop-loss price whenever possible, minimizing additional losses caused by slippage.

Please note that price protection may not be effective under exceptional market conditions, such as extreme volatility or price gaps. The actual execution price may differ from the preset stop-loss price.

   

3. How Are Guaranteed Stop-Loss Fees Charged?

   

Guaranteed Stop-Loss is a paid feature in which the platform assumes part of the slippage risk during extreme market conditions.

Fees are generally not charged in advance when enabling Guaranteed Stop-Loss. Instead, the corresponding fee is charged after the stop-loss is triggered, based on the actual executed amount.

Please refer to the trading interface for the latest fee rates.

  

  

4. Guaranteed Stop-Loss Example

  

The following example is for illustrative purposes only and demonstrates how different stop-loss methods may perform under extreme market conditions.

Assume that three traders each open a 1 BTC long position when the BTC market price is 66,500 USDT and set their stop-loss price at 65,850 USDT.

The market then drops rapidly, with the price instantly falling to 65,475.5 USDT.

  

Different stop-loss methods may produce the following results:

Stop-Loss Method Preset Stop-Loss Price Actual Execution Price Result
Market Stop-Loss 65,850 USDT 65,475.5 USDT Significant slippage occurs
Limit Stop-Loss 65,850 USDT Not executed The order may fail to execute
Guaranteed Stop-Loss 65,850 USDT 65,850 USDT Executed at the preset price

The above example does not include trading fees.

  

  

5. Supported Contract Types

  • USDT-Margined Perpetual Futures

6. Things to Know When Using Guaranteed Stop-Loss

   

Guaranteed Stop-Loss Is Generally Only Available for Stop-Loss Scenarios

For example:

  • For long positions, the stop-loss trigger price generally must be lower than both the average entry price and the latest price
  • For short positions, the stop-loss trigger price generally must be higher than both the average entry price and the latest price

Please refer to the platform interface for the latest rules.

  

Liquidation May Take Priority Over Guaranteed Stop-Loss

If the mark price simultaneously triggers both the liquidation price and the stop-loss price, the system will generally prioritize forced liquidation, and the Guaranteed Stop-Loss order may be canceled automatically.

Users are advised to set stop-loss prices appropriately and closely monitor position risks.

  

Pay Attention to the Trigger Price Type

When using Guaranteed Stop-Loss, please note that stop-loss triggers are generally based on the “Last Price” rather than the “Mark Price.”
