# Stop-loss & take-profit modes

Each receiver decides how the sender's stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) carry over. You set these on the receiver's **SL & TP** tab. **Copy Stop Loss** and **Copy Take Profit** are independent toggles — both on by default — and each uses the same three modes.

## The three modes

### Inherited

Copies the sender's exact SL or TP **price**.

**Example (SL)** — sender opens BUY EURUSD at 1.1000 with SL 1.0950. The receiver's trade also uses SL **1.0950**.

### Fixed

Every copied trade uses the **same distance** you set, regardless of the sender's. Distance is measured in **pips** for Forex and **ticks** for Futures.

**Example (SL, 30 pips)** — sender opens BUY EURUSD at 1.1000 with a 40-pip SL. The receiver opens at 1.1000 with SL **1.0970** — exactly 30 pips.

**Example (TP, 40 pips)** — sender's TP is 60 pips out. The receiver's TP is set **40 pips** out instead.

### Refined

Takes the sender's distance and **adjusts it** by a number of pips you choose:

* **Increase** widens the level (more room).
* **Decrease** tightens it (closer in).

**Example (SL, decrease by 5)** — sender's SL is 30 pips out → receiver's SL distance becomes 25 pips.

**Example (TP, increase by 10)** — sender's TP is 40 pips out → receiver's TP distance becomes 50 pips.

## Choosing a mode

| Mode          | Use it when                                                                                |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Inherited** | You want the receiver to mirror the sender's risk exactly.                                 |
| **Fixed**     | You want a consistent SL/TP distance across all trades, independent of the sender.         |
| **Refined**   | You broadly trust the sender's levels but want slightly more or less room on this account. |

{% hint style="info" %}
If you size receivers with [Fixed % Risk](/trada-docs/copy-trading/configure-receiver/lot-sizing-modes.md), a stop-loss must exist for the lot calculation to work — keep Copy Stop Loss on, or set a fixed SL distance here.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trada-llc.gitbook.io/trada-docs/copy-trading/configure-receiver/sl-tp-modes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
