On the Gate.io 's Futures Trading page, you can set SL/TP in the **Order Zone** when placing an order.

SL/TP order here will be triggered at the order price when the SL/TP price reaches the trigger price ( you can choose either mark price or last price).

## What is a Limit SL/TP Order?
A limit SL/TP order combines SL/TP mechanism with a limit order. You can set the minimum profit you expect or the maximum loss you are willing to take on. Once the SL/TP order is set and the trigger price is reached, the limit order will be automatically placed even after logging out or going offline.

In a limit SL/TP order, the SL/TP price is the trigger price of the limit order, and the limit price is the price point at which the order is placed. Limit price can be customizable, buy orders (long) are usually set above the SL/TP price and sell orders (short) are set below the SL/TP price. This difference takes into account the fact that the market price may change within the time difference between triggering SL/TP price and placing the limit order.

## What is a Market SL/TP Order?
Market SL/TP orders and limit SL/TP orders operate the same way, when the market SL/TP order is triggered, it will take effect as a market order to be filled immediately.

Please note that when the market is volatile and the price rises or falls sharply, the fill price of the market order may be lower/higher than the fill price that you see on the page when placing the order. Therefore, you'd better pay close attention to the market depth and price fluctuations.

Iceberg : It may hide the real order quantity and only show the entered quantity on the public order book. Note: the hidden quantity will always pay a taker fee.

Reduce-Only: Less the position only. To make sure no position will be added, the system may cancel order or partially fill the order.

Type: Gate.io futures currently supports four order types, GTC, IOC, Post-Only and FOK.
> GTC (Good Till Canceled) : remain active until the order is filled or canceled

> IOC (Immediate Or Cancel) : immediately filled and any unfilled portion of the order is canceled.

> Post-Only: filled as maker only, canceled if the order can be filed as taker.

> FOK (Fill Or Kill) : completely filled immediately, otherwise, it will be completely canceled. Partially filled will not be accepted.

For more details, please refer to [ Contract Order Types](https://www.gate.io/help/futures/futures_logic/22084/contract-order-types " Contract Order Types").

##Please Note

1. The funds in the futures account will not be locked as margin until the SL/TP is triggered and placed with the preset price and amount. Therefore, you will not be prompted that the balance is insufficient when setting limit/market SL/TP orders, and you need to verify it by yourself to avoid failure trading due to insufficient balance.
2. If the limit SL/TP order and market SL/TP order are set at the same time, the others will be canceled when any one of the orders is filled, and the other orders will be displayed a failure reason of "the current position is empty".
