# Take Profit & Stop Loss (TP / SL)

Astrum provides a simple and powerful system for automating profit-taking and loss protection.\
TP and SL can be turned on or off **instantly** during trading, and they execute using your chosen **priority fee** and **slippage** settings.

***

### **1. Configuring TP and SL**

Before using Take Profit or Stop Loss, you must set your desired percentages.

#### **How to Configure**

1. Open **Settings**.
2. Find the **Profit & Loss Limits** section.
3. Set:
   * **Take Profit (%)**
   * **Stop Loss (%)**
4. Below the inputs you will see the **Break-even Win Rate calculator**.

This calculator shows:

* the % of winning trades required to stay profitable
* based on your chosen TP and SL ratio

Example:\
TP +5% and SL −5% gives a **Break-even win rate = 50%**.

### **2. Enabling TP / SL During Trading**

Once TP and SL are configured:

1. Return to the **main Astrum trading panel**.
2. You will see toggles for **TP** and **SL**.
3. Click to enable them.
   * **Enabled state = bright orange indicator**
   * **Disabled state = grey indicator**

You can enable or disable TP/SL **at any moment before or after opening a trade**.

### **3. What Happens After You Buy a Token**

When you execute a Buy order with TP and/or SL enabled:

* Astrum automatically creates **two limit orders**:
  * one at your Take Profit target
  * one at your Stop Loss target

You can view them in:

👉 **Trades → Active Orders**

In this tab, you can:

* monitor both orders
* delete either TP or SL
* wait for automatic execution

If the TP or SL trigger hits, Astrum executes the order instantly using:

* your configured **priority fee**
* your configured **slippage**

After execution:

* the order disappears from Active Orders
* the result appears in the **trade history table** below
