# Auto-Sell

* Auto-Sell creates **Limit Orders the moment you buy** a token, so the **trigger prices are derived from your entry price.**
* **Auto-Sell has to be set up before token purchase** to be in effect. 
* Remember, **negative percentage change for trigger prices are Stop Loss orders (S/L) and positive changes are Take Profit orders (T/P).**

**Why use it?** 

* **Plan exits** before you buy. (i.e. Take Profit and Stop Loss levels)
* **Eliminate emotional trading**. Always know the potential outcomes of swaps.
* **Remove the need to constantly monitor** your holdings.

**Enable Auto-Sell in** [**Trade Settings**](/trading-on-trojan/profiles-settings.md)**, or directly from the Trade Panel.**

**Trade Settings:**

* Use the **Add Order** button to create Auto-Sell Orders.  **Add as many as needed**, ensuring the total sell amounts for Take Profit (T/P) and Stop Loss (S/L) each do not exceed 100%.

**Trade Panel:**

* Activate Auto Sell directly from the Trade Panel by clicking **Auto Sell**, then click \
  \&#xNAN;**+ Add** to add orders.
* In this example, you have **three T/P triggers**, and **one S/L**. You can have **more, or fewer if you wish**.
* **First T/P (Take Profit):** Trigger = 100% (a 100% increase over entry - or a 2x total)\
  Sell: 50% (sells half of your position at 2x price) - This common strategy eliminates risk by recapturing your initial investment.
* **Second T/P:** Sells 10% at 3x.
* **Third T/P:** Sells 10% at 4x.
* **Stop Loss (S/L):** Sells your whole bag if the price dips 25%.

If you buy a token multiple times, be sure to close the Limit Orders that were set previously.
