Managing a trade: changing the stop and the targets
An open trade can be edited right in the bot: move the stop, add or remove a target, change the price or the amount of an entry. The bot sends the change to the exchange and confirms the outcome with a separate notification.
Where it is in the bot
Main menu → 💼 Trades → the trade → Edit trade. From there, three lists by role: edit Entries, edit Take Profit, edit Stop Loss. Each of them holds the buttons Order #1, Order #2 … and Add Target.
What you can do
| Action | Where | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Change the price of an order | The order → Change price | “✏️ Enter the new price as a number:” → “Confirm price change for the order?”. The price is checked against the rule SL < ENTRY < TP (for SHORT — the other way round) |
| Change the amount of an entry | An entry order → Change amount | “Choose a new Value for the trade” |
| Change the share of a target | A TP order → Change percentage | “Enter the desired percentage (total TP order percentages must be <= 100)”. The bot shows “(Free percentages: 20)” |
| Cancel an order | The order → Cancel order | “Are you sure you want to cancel this order?”. The last order cannot be cancelled |
| Add an entry | edit Entries → Add Target | “Enter the price for the new Entry order (no need to specify percentages), but follow the rule (or open at market price):”, then the amount. The Market order button opens an entry at the current price |
| Add a target | edit Take Profit → Add Target | The format <price> - <percentage> |
| Add a stop | edit Stop Loss → Add Target | “Choose the price for the Stop-Loss order. Follow the rule:” |
| Move the stop to the market | The card → Close Stop Loss at market | The screen “Move Stop-Loss to market price”, the result “Stop-Loss successfully moved” |
| Change the leverage | The card → Change leverage | “Enter a new leverage value” → “Confirm leverage change:” → “✅ Leverage successfully changed 10 -> 5”. Only while there is no open position on the pair |
After a change the bot answers, for example: “Entry change: success. Request sent to exchange (30000 → 29800). Execution status will arrive as a separate notification.” The outcome comes from the notification bot: “✏️ Price changed” or “❌ Error changing price: …”.
How to pull the stop up by hand
- Open the trade → Edit trade → edit Stop Loss → Order #1.
- Change price → enter the new price, for example
59500. - Check the rule: for a LONG the stop must stay below the entry.
- Confirm and wait for “Stop Loss moved”.
If you want the stop to move on its own, set up Trailing Stop-Loss in the trading settings of the bot.
What is important to know
- Cancelling a target redistributes its share: “When cancelling a Take-Profit order, the portion of the position covered by this order will be proportionally redistributed among remaining orders”.
- Any edit resets the counter of the auto-closing of “forgotten” trades (14 days without changes).
- An order that has already been filled cannot be changed: “Order already filled.”
Limits and allowed values
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| The sum of the TP shares | Not more than 100 % |
| Stop-loss in a trade | Exactly one |
| Cancelling an order | The last order cannot be cancelled |
| Changing the leverage | Only without an open position on the pair |
Common errors and what the bot says
- “Order price was not changed because the new price is the same as the current one (30000)”.
- “For Long trades, Entry order price cannot be greater than or equal to Take-Profit order price” — and similar checks of the rule for every role.
- “Invalid percentage. You can only choose a value up to the available free percentages.” / “Insufficient free percentages: 20”.
- “Cannot cancel the last order”.
- “Cannot change leverage: there is an open trade for this pair”.
- “Order already filled.” — the order was filled, it is too late to change it.
- “No active SL order” / “No open position” — the stop can only be moved to the market while the position is open.
- “Trade is currently being modified by another operation. Please wait a few seconds and try again.”
