# TP/SL Evaluation Guide for OKX Contracts ## How to Evaluate a TP/SL Setup ### Step 1: Gather Data - Entry price, current price, TP trigger, SL trigger - Liquidation price (from position details) - 7-day OHLCV data for the asset ### Step 2: Calculate Key Metrics | Metric | Formula | Good | Bad | |:---|:---|:---|:---| | Risk:Reward | (TP - entry) / (entry - SL) | ≥ 1.5 | ≤ 1.0 | | SL distance % | (entry - SL) / entry × 100 | > daily avg range | < daily avg range | | SL vs Liquidation | SL price vs liq price | Wide gap | Close to liq | | TP vs 7d High | Compare | Below 7d high | Above 7d high (needs breakout) | | Breakeven win rate | 1 / (1 + R:R) | < 40% | > 50% | ### Step 3: Common Issues **Issue: Stop loss too tight** - Symptom: SL distance < asset's average daily range - Example: 0.76% SL on an asset with 5% daily volatility - Fix: Widen SL to at least 1.5× the daily ATR (Average True Range) **Issue: TP unrealistic** - Symptom: TP is above the 7-day high for longs - Fix: Set TP within the recent range, or use trailing stop instead **Issue: R:R too low** - Symptom: Win/loss amount ratio ≤ 1:1 - Fix: Either widen TP or tighten SL (but not too tight!) - Rule: With R:R of 1:1, you need >50% accuracy to profit. With 2:1, you only need >33%. **Issue: SL at round number** - Symptom: SL at exactly $1,000, $1,100, etc. - Fix: Offset by 0.5-1% (e.g., $1,005 or $995) to avoid stop hunts ### Step 4: Report Template ``` 📊 TP/SL 评估 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 入场: $X | 当前: $Y | 浮盈/亏: Z% 止盈: $TP (+A%) | 止损: $SL (-B%) 清算价: $Liq (距 SL: C%) 盈亏比: R:R SL 距当前: D% (日均波动: E%) TP vs 7日高: F 评价: ✅合理 / ⚠️需调整 / ❌风险过高 建议: ... ``` ## OKX-Specific Notes - OKX OCO orders: TP and SL are paired — one triggers, the other cancels - `tpOrdPx: "-1"` means market price execution on trigger (guaranteed fill but possible slippage) - `slOrdPx: "-1"` same for stop loss - `mgnMode: "isolated"` = only the margin amount is at risk (not cross-margin) - `mgnRatio` < 1.0 means close to liquidation - `uplRatio` is unrealized PnL as a fraction of margin (e.g., -0.024 = -2.4% of margin)
