Advanced Trading: Limits, TP/SL & TWAPs

With UniversalX, you can also execute more complex trading operations, 100% onchain. These include:

• Limit orders

• Take-Profit/Stop-Loss operations

• TWAP orders

Below, you can find a breakdown of these functionalities:

1. Limit Orders

A limit order lets you specify the exact price at which you’re willing to buy or sell a token. Your transaction will only be executed once that price becomes available in the pool.

To create a limit order:

1. Open the Trade screen for any token.

2. Within Buy or Sell, select the Limit tab.

3. Fill in:

   • Limit Price – The price at which you want to buy or sell the token.

   • Amount – How much of the token you'd like to trade (you can also use the quick‑select buttons to set this).

4. (Optional) Attach TP/SL presets (see section 2).

5. Press Buy / Sell.

After this, you can find your order under your History at the bottom of the Execution panel.

2. Take‑Profit & Stop‑Loss (TP/SL)

TP/SL lets you automate exits at predefined profit or loss levels. UniversalX supports:

Type	Field	Description
TP (Take‑Profit)	PnL % or Price	Closes a slice of the position once the selected gain is hit.
SL (Stop‑Loss)	PnL % or Price	Closes a slice if the loss threshold is breached.

You can also stack several legs of these (up to 4 TPs and 4 SLs) to ladder out of a position gradually.

To set up a Take-Profit or Stop-Loss strategy:

1. Summon the TP/SL modal. Within the Execution panel, select TP/SL.

2. Edit a preset or create one. You'll see the tabs P1‑P4. These are trading presets. You can either edit the pre-selected one or create a new one by hitting “+”.

3. Define your exit legs. Fill up the following fields:

Field	What it means	Example
Sell %	How much of the position to close	50 → half the size
PnL % (or Price)	Profit or loss trigger	+100 (double your money) for TP, ‑50 for SL

You can also add multiple legs to your strategy to ladder your approach.

1. Execute your trade once you're ready.

3. TWAP (Time‑Weighted Average Price) Orders

A TWAP splits a large order into equal-sized child orders sent at fixed intervals. This reduces market impact and helps you track the average price of the range.

To place a TWAP order:

1. Choose Market | Limit | TWAP → TWAP.

2. Set an Interval (Intv.) – e.g. every 5 minutes.

3. Fill out Split to – i.e. the number of trades required to fill your order.

4. Enter your total trading Amount.

5. Confirm. Your order is now sent and will execute even if you close UniversalX.

After this, you can find your TWAP order under your History at the bottom of the Execution panel.

4. Preset Strategies (P‑slots & S‑slots)

Beyond one‑off orders, UniversalX also offers dedicated slots to save full strategies.

You can select between setting up presets and strategies:

Slot group	Purpose
Presets	Parameter templates (leverage, slippage, MEV, expiry).
Strategies	Full TP/SL blueprints.

You can predefine up to four trading settings to quickly apply them when trading. To create a preset:

1. Locate the Presets and Strategies bar at the top of the Execution panel.

2. Press + next to an empty P or S slot.

3. Configure your strategy or preset by filling out their parameters. Remember that every preset has a Buying and a Selling component, so you'll need to fill out both.

4. Give it a descriptive name and Confirm.

5. Select it any time you'd like to use it for a trade.
