WEEX: Position Take Profit and Stop Loss Feature
In futures trading, the real challenge is usually how to exit, not when to enter. Delayed stop-losses, giving back unrealized gains, and uncontrolled risk after scaling in—these are the main drivers of drawdowns.
The Position Take-Profit / Stop-Loss feature now lives and running stably on WEEX lets you predefine both profit capture and maximum loss for an entire position in one go. Once triggered, it executes a full position market close automatically—reducing emotional interference, improving execution certainty during sharp volatility, and turning risk–reward into measurable, reviewable data.
This article will clearly and quickly cover: what it is, when to use it, its core benefits, how to set it properly, plus common FAQs.
What Is Position Take-Profit / Stop-Loss?
Position Take-Profit / Stop-Loss sets exit conditions for the entire current futures position. After you define a take-profit price and/or a stop-loss price for a position, once market price hits a trigger, the system attempts to close all remaining size at market.
When It’s Useful
Typical scenarios include:
- Unified exit after scaling into multiple fills
- Unable to monitor the market continuously
- Defining worst-case loss before key events or data
- Strategies requiring fixed risk–reward ratios
- Emotional swings driven by floating PnL
- Accounts enforcing per-trade risk caps
If you need laddered partial take-profit, ultra-short-term scalping, or order book microstructure tactics, you will need to combine this with other tools.
Benefits of the Position Take Profit and Stop Loss feature:
- Automated trading and simplified management: Users do not need to manually close positions; the system automatically handles trades based on preset conditions, helping users quickly lock in profits or limit losses while reducing the need to constantly monitor market dynamics.
- Reduced emotional interference and faster response: With automated settings, users can minimize the impact of emotions on decision-making, respond quickly to market changes, and effectively control risks to protect their capital.

Q&A
1. Do I have to set both take‑profit and stop‑loss?
No. You can set only a stop‑loss (cap worst loss), only a take‑profit (lock in expected gain), or both to define a fixed risk‑reward ratio.
2. Will it always fill exactly at my set price once triggered?
No guarantee. A trigger just means the condition is met; the system then sends a market close. The actual average fill can differ due to slippage, depth, and volatility.
3. Can I modify or cancel after setting it?
Yes. Open the position’s Take-Profit/Stop-Loss panel to adjust or remove. The latest submission overrides prior ones. If you’ve manually reduced part of the position, the remaining size keeps using the updated settings.
