Master the essential order commands for trading automation

Understanding Order Types

Flipr.Cloud exposes order types according to the exchange and market capabilities. Each order type serves a specific purpose in your trading strategy.

Choose the right order type based on your execution priority: speed (market), price (limit), or conditional logic (stop orders).

Market Orders

market

Request execution at available market prices; slippage is possible

USE WHEN:

Need immediate execution, entering/exiting positions quickly

EXAMPLES:

market long 0.1

pos 0

market short 50%

Limit Orders

limit

Place orders at specific price levels

USE WHEN:

Want better entry/exit prices, no rush to execute

EXAMPLES:

limit long 0.1 off 100

limit long 50% off 1%

limit short 100%p @ 52000 reduce

Stop Loss / Take Profit

stoploss / takeprofit

Set stop loss and take profit protection

USE WHEN:

Setting stop losses, take profits, risk management

EXAMPLES:

stoploss off e3%

takeprofit off 5%

stoploss @ 48000

Combined SL+TP

sl-or-tp

Combined SL+TP with native linkage or standard OCO monitoring where supported

USE WHEN:

Protecting positions with both stop loss and take profit

EXAMPLES:

sl-or-tp short 100%p sl off 2% tp off 5%

sl-or-tp long 100%p sl off 3% tp off 8%

sl-or-tp short 100%p sl off e4% tp off e10%

Trailing Stop

trailing-stop

Trailing stops on supported Binance, HTX and WEEX futures paths

USE WHEN:

Locking in gains after price moves in your favor

EXAMPLES:

market long 0.01 ts 2%/1.5%

market long 0.01 sl off 2% tp off 3% ts 2%/1.5%

trailing-stop short 100%p @65000/1000 mark
