What happens if both stop-loss and take-profit conditions are met?

In MagicTradeBot, it’s rare but possible that both stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) conditions may trigger simultaneously. The bot has a defined priority to handle this situation safely.

🧠 Behavior Overview

1. Stop-Loss Priority

   • If both SL and TP conditions are met at the same moment, stop-loss takes priority in the decision engine.
   • This ensures that risk protection is always enforced first, minimizing potential losses.

2. Quantity Handling Difference

   • Stop-Loss: Always closes 100% of the position
   • Take-Profit: Can close partial quantities based on SellPer in TakeProfitRules
   • This means that even if TP would have sold only a portion, SL will override and exit the full position

3. Trade Result Impact

   • The result of the trade is the same as a normal SL exit, except that any potential partial TP gains are included if the price reached the TP level before triggering SL
   • Bot ensures that trade closes safely and avoids conflicts between rules

🔄 Example Scenario

TakeProfitRules:
  - TargetProfitPer: 5
    SellPer: 50
    EnableSmartTP: true

ThresholdRules:
  - Minutes: 10
    ThresholdPer: -3
    CloseIfLoss: true

• Trade moves in your favor → hits 5% TP → partial sell for 50%
• Market quickly reverses → hits -3% SL for remaining 50%
• Bot closes remaining position completely, respecting stop-loss priority

📌 Key Points

• Extremely rare: TP and SL rarely trigger at the same exact time due to price tick movement
• Stop-loss always prioritizes: Full protection against extreme losses
• Partial TP still executes first if it triggers before SL, so profits are not entirely lost
• Works seamlessly with Smart TP, DCA, and dynamic SL

In short, stop-loss ensures safety first, while take-profit rules maximize gains when conditions allow, giving the bot intelligent trade exit handling even in extreme scenarios.
