# Take Profit and Stop Loss

**How It Works**

Intent-based integrates proprietary Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) solutions through its SYMMIO core contracts. This system automates trade closures when the target price conditions are met, leveraging a combination of reliable price feeds and fallback mechanisms for accuracy.

* **Price Triggers:**
  * **Price ≥ TP** → System triggers a close request to the solver.
  * **Price ≤ SL** → System triggers a close request to the solver.
* **Price Source:**
  * **Default:** Last Price (aligns with market charts under normal conditions).
  * **Volatility Protection:** Mark Price replaces Last Price if their divergence exceeds 0.25%.
  * **Fallback Mechanism:** Ensures uninterrupted operation even if primary price feeds fail.

Once triggered, positions are closed at the Market Price, which may differ slightly from the trigger price due to execution delays.

**Execution Details**

* **Gas-Free Transactions:** Powered by Account Abstraction technology, our intent-based system sponsors transaction gas costs for users.
* **Execution Time:** Closing requests are processed within 3–5 seconds. During this interval, price fluctuations may affect execution success.
* **Scalping Limitation:** This system is optimized for medium- and long-term trades, not high-frequency scalping or low-timeframe strategies.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**System Limitations:** Intent-based ensures close requests are sent to solvers but cannot guarantee execution due to SYMMIO’s and solver-side dependencies. Further improvements, including redundancy measures, are planned for a more robust solution.

**Setting Stop Loss and Take Profit**

Adding SL and TP to your positions is quick and easy:

1. **Access Your Position:** Open the Positions tab and locate the SL/TP settings.
2. **Enable Stop Loss:** Approve the intent-based system to manage your position closure. This one-time setup is required.
3. **Set Targets:**
   * Select percentage-based thresholds or input custom prices.
   * Confirm your Take Profit and Stop Loss values.

***

The intent-based’s SL/TP system is designed to simplify trade risk management. While it provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for most trading scenarios, users should be aware of potential delays or incomplete executions during volatile market conditions. For short-term or high-frequency trading, manual monitoring is recommended.
