# Take Profit / Stop Loss

Adding a **Take Profit** or a **Stop Loss** order in your position can ensure that you won't be overexposed to sudden price action and fluctuations of the market.\
\
**Take Profit allows you to set the price that when reached, your position will automatically close and collect the profit you have accumulated.**

Clicking one of the percentage buttons will instantly calculate the price for the corresponding PnL percentage. In this example, to automatically close the position with <mark style="color:green;">50% percent profit</mark> (or $4,761.77) BTC must reach the price of $30,544.00.

**On the contrary, Stop Loss indicates the price where the position automatically closes in order to cut losses on your current profits or to stop your loses from accumulating any further.**

In a similar manner, the percentage buttons allow you to select the <mark style="color:red;">% of loss</mark> where your position will close automatically. In this case 25% loss of the initial collateral equals to $2,386.94, while these losses will have been accumulated when BTC reaches the price of $30,090.50.

**If you wish to alter your current Take Profit and/or Stop Loss orders, you must first cancel the previous one.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.unlimited.trade/start-trading/or-unlimited-leverage-guide/positions/take-profit-stop-loss.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
