Breakeven

Breakeven is moving the stop to the entry price. After that the trade can no longer close at a loss on price: the worst outcome is zero, fees aside.

What it is

Moving to breakeven is one of the Trailing Stop-Loss types. There are two ways to turn it on:

Type	When the stop moves to the entry
Breakeven (target)	After the take-profit with the given number is filled (TP #1 … #10)
Breakout %	When the price has gone a set percentage away from the weighted average entry price (1–100 %)

The third option — Breakeven (percentage) — is temporarily hidden and unavailable in the bot: in the list of types it is labelled “Breakeven (percentage, temporarily hidden)”.

The point the stop moves to is the weighted average entry price: if there were several entries, the bot averages them by the volume of each.

Where it is in the bot

Signal bot card → Trading settings → Stop-Loss → Trailing → Breakeven (target) or Breakout % → Configure.

In the bot card the result is visible in the line “Trailing: move to breakeven, trigger TP #1” or “move to breakeven when price moves 10% from entry”. In the trade card it reads “move to breakeven, trigger - exit point 1”.

How to set it up

1. Choose Breakeven (target) and press Configure: “Specify the TP order number after which trailing will activate. Range: 1-10 … Example: 3”. To move after the first target, enter 1.
2. Or choose Breakout % and enter a percentage: the bot asks for “the percentage above the weighted average Entry price at which Trailing will be activated”.
3. The bot confirms: “✅ Applied: Breakeven (target)”.

Example with a calculation

LONG on ETH, two entries: 60 % of the position at 3,000 and 40 % at 2,950. Stop from the signal 2,850.

Weighted average entry price: 0.6 × 3,000 + 0.4 × 2,950 = 1,800 + 1,180 = 2,980.

Setting	Event	Stop before	Stop after
Breakeven (target), TP #1 = 3,060	TP1 filled	2,850	2,980
Breakout % 3 %	The price reached 2,980 × 1.03 = 3,069.4	2,850	2,980

What this gives you. Position 1 ETH, TP1 closes 40 %: 0.4 × (3,060 − 2,980) = +32 USDT. Then the market reverses:

• without breakeven the remaining 0.6 ETH closes at 2,850: 0.6 × (2,850 − 2,980) = −78 USDT, making the trade −46 USDT overall;
• with breakeven the remainder closes at 2,980: 0 USDT, making the trade +32 USDT overall.

Fees and funding are not part of the calculation — with them, closing at “zero” gives a small minus.

Limits and allowed values

Parameter	Range	Note
TP number for Breakeven (target)	1–10	TP #1 is the preset
Percentage for Breakout %	1–100 %	from the weighted average entry price
Breakeven (percentage)	not available	temporarily hidden
Direction of the move	only towards profit	the stop never moves back

Common errors and what the bot says

• “Invalid format. Enter an integer (1-10).” — the target number must be a whole number from 1 to 10.
• “Trailing Breakeven percentage is temporarily hidden and unavailable.” — use Breakeven (target) or Breakout %.
• The stop after the move ended up slightly below the entry price rather than exactly on it — check whether the protection fired: “⚠️ SL automatically clamped closer to entry (liquidation protection)” refers to the original stop, while the breakeven point is always counted from the average entry price.
