The “no SL in signal” policy

Not every channel publishes a stop-loss. For futures signals without a stop the bot follows the policy you choose: it skips the signal, places its own stop or opens the trade unprotected.

What it is

The policy only works for futures (LINEAR) signals — on spot there is no liquidation, and a position without a stop cannot zero out the account. Three options:

Option	What the bot does	Risk
🚫 Skip	The trade does not open, a notification with the reason arrives	No trade, no risk. This is the default
🛡 Default SL	Opens the trade and places a stop at the percentage from Custom Stop-Loss	The stop is yours, not the trader's — it may be closer or farther than they intended
⚠️ No SL	Opens the trade without a stop	Liquidation if the price moves against the position; you have to manage it by hand

Where it is in the bot

Signal bot card → Trading settings → Stop-Loss. The block on the screen is headed “⚙️ If signal has no SL (LINEAR):”, and the current choice is shown in the line “Policy "no SL in signal": 🚫 Skip”.

How to set it up

1. On the Stop-Loss screen press the button you need: 🚫 Skip, 🛡 Default SL or ⚠️ No SL.
2. If you chose 🛡 Default SL, check the percentage in Custom Stop-Loss (the preset is 20 %) and the SL % mode: by price or by margin.
3. If you chose ⚠️ No SL, turn on the notification bot and be ready to close the position by hand. The bot treats “no stop” together with cross margin as especially dangerous and warns about it separately.

Example with a calculation

A LONG signal on BTC: entry 60,000, two targets, no stop. Leverage x10, margin 100 USDT, position 1,000 USDT.

Policy	What happens
🚫 Skip	No trade. Notification: “Signal skipped: the LINEAR signal has no valid stop-loss…”
🛡 Default SL 20 %, price mode	Stop at 48,000 (−20 %). The loss on the stop is 200 USDT — twice the margin, so the bot would clamp the stop closer to the entry to stay clear of liquidation
🛡 Default SL 20 %, margin (ROI) mode	20 % / 10 = a 2 % price move: stop at 58,800, loss 20 USDT
⚠️ No SL	No stop. A 10 % fall (54,000) eats the whole margin — liquidation

The table shows why the margin mode is worth using for a default stop on leverage: the percentage is counted from your money, not from the price.

Limits and allowed values

Parameter	Value	Note
Where it applies	LINEAR only	a spot bot does not show the policy
Default	🚫 Skip	the safest mode
Default SL percentage	1–95 %	taken from Custom Stop-Loss

Common errors and what the bot says

• “Signal skipped: the LINEAR signal has no valid stop-loss and the bot is configured to skip such signals (protection against trading without SL). Enable a default SL in the bot settings or include an SL in the signal.” — this is how 🚫 Skip works; if you need the trades, switch to 🛡 Default SL.
• “The LINEAR signal had no valid stop-loss — a default SL from the bot settings was applied.” — 🛡 Default SL did its job, the stop stands at your percentage.
• “Warning: the signal trade was opened WITHOUT a stop-loss (bot is configured to trade without SL). Liquidation risk — monitor the position manually.” — ⚠️ No SL did its job.
• “⚠️ Warning: Cross margin without Stop-Loss. If the position goes deep into the negative, liquidation will affect the entire account (including balances of other bots)…” — switch the margin type to Isolated or set a stop.
