- What is Guaranteed Stop Loss (Guaranteed SL)? Guaranteed Stop Loss Stop Loss (Guaranteed SL) is a paid risk control feature designed to help you close your position at a preset SL price during sharp market fluctuations, preventing additional losses caused by slippage. Once enabled, the system will forcefully close the position at your specified trigger price when the SL is hit, regardless of market liquidity—ensuring zero slippage execution.
- Difference from Regular Stop Loss
Comparison | Regular Stop Loss | Guaranteed Stop Loss |
Execution Price | Market order, may have slippage | Fixed at stop-loss price, no slippage |
Performance in Extreme Conditions | Price gaps may cause stop loss to fail or increase losses | Forced execution, caps potential loss |
Fees | Free | Requires a fee (can be reduced with vouchers) |
To help you better understand the advantages of the Guaranteed Stop Loss feature, below is a comparison of three strategy types.
Guaranteed Stop Loss Example:
For a long position in BTCUSDT futures of 1 BTC, with the entry price of 100,000 USDT. Assume BTC suddenly drops from 100,000 USDT to 95,000 USDT. Three traders use different stop-loss strategies:
Strategy Type | Market Stop Loss | Limit Stop Loss | Guaranteed Stop Loss |
Initial SL Price | 98,000 USDT | 98,000 USDT | 98,000 USDT |
Actual Execution Price | 96,000 USDT | Not fully executed | 98,000 USDT |
Final Loss | 4,000 USDT (100,000 - 96,000) | Unknown (potentially larger) | 2,000 USDT (100,000 - 98,000) |
Case Analysis: | Market stop orders execute quickly but cannot lock the price. During sharp drops, execution price may fall significantly to 96,000. | Limit stop orders may fail to fully execute during rapid declines, leading to high risk of greater losses. | Guaranteed stop loss executes at 98,000 USDT, fully locking the stop-loss price and eliminating slippage risk. |
Note: Example calculations are simplified and do not include trading fees.
