With the release of Product Sprint 6, we’re introducing a series of new features to improve our users’ trading experience on WOO X. In this article, we will focus on the introduction of Bracket Orders, available now to all users globally.<h3 id="strong-what-is-a-bracket-order-strong">What is a Bracket Order?</h3>A bracket order is a powerful trading tool to manage risk &amp; reward on an order that has yet to execute. A bracket order creates a bracket, consisting of a take-profit and stop-loss attached around a position.A bracket order is thus comprised of these two additional orders on top of the initial order:<ul><li>A take-profit (TP) order</li><li>A stop-loss (SL) order</li></ul>A BUY order will be bracketed by a high-side SELL (TP) and / or a low-side SELL (SL) order.A SELL order will be bracketed by a low-side BUY (TP) and / or a high-side BUY (SL) order.Both of these orders are tightly coupled with the initial position. Thus, triggering either the take-profit or stop-loss orders will result in the position being closed. Once that occurs, there is no need for the remaining bracket to exist, therefore resulting in the untriggered order from the bracket being immediately canceled.<h3 id="strong-when-to-use-bracket-order-strong">When to use Bracket Order?</h3>Since a bracket order can be set before a trade gets executed, it gives traders flexibility and control over their PnL.This is ideal for traders who want to trade even when they are not present, or to improve their trading discipline as bracket orders may remove the possibility of emotional trading during periods of high volatility.<h3 id="strong-how-to-use-bracket-order-strong">How to use Bracket Order?</h3>Step 1: In your Order Entry, select Market or Limit Order.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/2fd096c1f8bf49d1a24c362215cdd5ae.png" />Step 2: Toggle on/off the ‘TP/SL for Buy’ and ‘TP/SL for Sell’ switches to enter your Bracket Order.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/2fd096c1f8bf49d1a24c362215cdd5ae.png" />Step 3: Enter your [Take Profit Price] or [TP Offset], [Stop Loss Price] or [SL Offset].
