Auto Breakeven on Propr: Move Your Stop to Entry Automatically

Category: Risk Management | Date: 2026-11-03

Two Ways to Go Breakeven

Rule	When the stop moves	Set it from
Auto breakeven	Once the trade is a set amount in profit (dollars or points)	Chart, order ticket, webhook
Breakeven after TP1	The moment your first take profit fills; optional +ticks offset	Chart, order ticket, webhook

Both fire once per position. If you later move the stop by hand, the rule does not drag it back.

Why It Matters on Perps

Crypto moves around the clock. A trade that is $300 up at 3 a.m. can be a loss by morning. Moving the stop to entry locks in a no-loss trade without watching the screen, and “breakeven +1 tick” after TP1 covers fees on the runner.

How It Works on Propr

The stop is a reduce-only stop-market order attached to your position.
Propr has no modify call, so moving the stop replaces it: cancel, then place at entry.
The rule is armed explicitly for a position. A hand-placed trade is never governed by it silently.

Arm It From a Webhook

Send a <code>protect</code> message after the entry: <code>{"action": "protect", "symbol": "BTC", "sl": 104000, "tp": [109000, 111000], "beAfterTp1": true, "beOffsetTicks": 1}</code>, or <code>"autoBreakevenUsd": 200</code> to move the stop once the trade is $200 up.

Copying

Followers copy fills, not stops. When the leader’s breakeven stop fills, Protect closes each follower in that market.
