Auto TP/SL creates take-profit and/or stop-loss orders after eligible market buys in the active profile. Both sides are off by default. Targets use the purchase’s entry, regardless of the Manual TP/SL basis setting.

Accounts with multi-level controls can configure up to 20 TP levels and 20 SL levels. If Add level is absent, use the single level available in your account.

Understand sell size

The default basis is % of remaining. Entry-based allocations cannot exceed 100%. The product may show 100% of entry allocated when you need to reduce a level before adding another. This sell-size basis also affects manual multi-step limit sells. The Total sell and Est. return on sold tokens summary assumes fills at targets, nearest first, before fees/slippage, and excludes unsold tokens. It is not a forecast.

Buying more and existing orders

A later buy can re-anchor Auto TP/SL targets to the updated average entry. Cove avoids stacking another set when active sell orders already exist for the token. Some accounts offer live-position sizing for entry-based allocations. Review the actual order sizes after additional buys or manual sells; do not assume existing quantities rebalance automatically unless that behavior is confirmed for your account. USDC, native-token, and automatic bridge operations do not create these exits.

Disable or change the rules

Turn Auto TP or Auto SL off to stop future automatic creation for that side. Edit levels for future setup, then separately inspect active orders in /orders. Do not assume changing the rule cancels protection already placed.

Missing or failed protection

Auto TP/SL Incomplete means at least one expected order was not created. Add the missing order manually and verify it. A stop blocked by excess network cost may be no longer armed. Set an appropriate Gas surplus budget if desired, then recreate it. Increasing the budget alone does not restore the stop.
