# Stop Loss
> Automatically sell your position if the price drops below a set threshold.
Stop Loss protects you from large losses by automatically selling when a position moves against you.
**How to Configure**
1. Go to /settings
2. Select **SL/TP**
3. Tap **Stop Loss**
**Stop Loss Types**
| Type | What it does |
| :----------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ๐ **Trailing** | Dynamic SL that moves up with the price as it rises, locking in gains. If price reverses by your set %, it sells |
| **๐ Percentage or ๐ฒ Fixed** | **Percentage** โ sells if price drops by X% from your entry. **Fixed** โ sells when price reaches a specific value |
| ๐ **Switch to Layered Mode** | Set multiple SL levels with different share allocations. Example: sell 50% at -20% and remaining 50% at -40% |
| ๐ **SL Flip Settings** | Configure SL Flip โ automatically enters the opposite side when your SL triggers |
This global SL applies to new normal Polymarket buys. Copy trade tasks use their own separate SL settings.
***
**SL Flip Settings**
> Automatically enter the opposite side when your stop loss triggers.
When a stop loss triggers and fully closes your position, SL Flip immediately buys the opposite side of the same market to ride the confirmed move.
**Example:** You bought UP at 80ยข. Price drops to 55ยข triggering your SL. SL Flip instantly buys DOWN to capture the confirmed downward move.
**Controls**
| Setting | What it does |
| :--------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ๐ด **Status** | Toggle SL Flip on or off |
| ๐ฐ **Amount** | % of original position size to use for the flip. 100% = same size as original trade |
| ๐ **Max Entry Price** | Skip the flip if the opposite side price is above this value. Example: 60ยข = don't flip if opposite side costs more than 60ยข |
| ๐ **Flip Stop Loss** | Stop loss for the flipped position. Use Default = applies your normal SL settings to the flip |
SL Flip only triggers when the stop loss **fully closes** your position.
***
**โ๏ธ Max Spread (Stop Loss Safety)**
Prevents your stop loss from triggering during moments of extreme price volatility or thin liquidity \
when the gap between the buy and sell price (ask minus bid) is unusually wide.
| Value | What it means |
| :----- | :--------------------------------------------------- |
| **10** | SL won't trigger if spread is wider than 10ยข |
| **5** | SL won't trigger if spread is wider than 5ยข |
| **0** | Disabled: SL triggers regardless of spread (default) |
You can also override the Max Spread setting on individual positions directly from that position's SL page.
**Why this matters:**
* During sudden large price dumps, spreads can widen dramatically
* Without this protection, your SL could trigger at a much worse price than expected
* Setting a Max Spread ensures your SL only fires in normal market conditions
