Stop-Loss Orders
Stop-loss Market orders only execute when the oracle price crosses a given stop price. A market order will be placed when the price reaches a specified stop price.
By automatically closing your positions when the price crosses the stop price (for long positions) or goes below it (for short positions), stop market orders can be used to prevent losses on your positions. Once triggered, the resulting market order will be immediately filled.
To place advanced orders you must be using cross-margin & have a minimum keeper requirement of .01 ETH.
Traders need an open position to execute this order type.
