Stops, targets and trade management

How SL and TP are placed, what happens on break-even and partial-close messages, and how trailing behaves.

Placement at entry

  • SL and TP from the signal are attached to the order, so protection exists from the first tick.
  • A signal without a stop is rejected by default — see the completeness gate in How PipSync works.
  • Levels closer than the broker's minimum stop distance are pushed to the nearest allowed level, and that adjustment is logged.
  • Multiple targets are handled per the channel's multi-TP setting.

Follow-up management

Provider messageWhat PipSync does
Move SL to entry / break-evenModifies the stop on the matched open position.
TP1 hit, close halfPartial close of the matched position; the remainder keeps its stop and next target.
Move TP to XModifies the target.
Close nowMarket close of the matched position.
Anything unmatchedLogged, not applied. Never guessed onto another trade.
Modifications that the broker accepts as "no change needed" count as success — a stop already at the requested level is not an error.

Trailing stops

Trailing is optional and off by default. When enabled per channel or account, the stop follows price at your configured distance and only ever moves in your favour.

  • Trailing runs server-side, so it keeps working when your machine is off.
  • A provider message that moves the stop backwards is ignored while trailing is active.
  • Trailing and break-even can be combined: break-even first, then trail from a given profit distance.
