Smart Trades are one of the most powerful tools available for optimizing your profits and managing your trading account. Over time, we've compiled the most frequently asked questions to help you quickly find solutions. Let’s dive in!

You can click the small "v" button next to your Smart Trade to expand and view additional details. This works for live Smart Trades and when reviewing your Smart Trade History.

For example, this feature is especially helpful for Futures trades to view the Liquidation Price of a contract being traded:

After expanding the detailed information for a Smart Trade, you’ll see Cancel and Edit buttons next to any "Add Funds" orders you’ve created.

If your Limit Order is only partially filled, the Smart Trade will not activate its Take Profit or Stop Loss conditions until the entry order is completely filled. The system waits for the full entry to be executed before proceeding.

If you accidentally cancel a Futures Smart Trade but the position is still open on the exchange, you can quickly reconnect it with just a few clicks. This allows you to regain control over the trade.

Yes! Trailing Stop Loss remains active even if you’ve set multiple Take Profit targets. It will continue to follow the price to protect your trade.

Trailing Take Profit applies only to the last Take Profit target.

For example, if you set 4 Take Profit targets and enable Trailing Take Profit:

If you’ve noticed that the Unrealized P&L (uPnL) and ROI values displayed on 3Commas differ slightly from those shown on your exchange, this is expected due to differences in calculation methods. These discrepancies are normal and do not impact the actual profitability of your trades. If you are comparing values between 3Commas and your exchange, ensure you check whether fees are included and whether you are looking at the ticker price or mark price.

Below are the key reasons why this discrepancy occurs:

1. Fees Are Included in 3Commas Calculations

2. Different Price Sources: Ticker Price vs. Mark Price

3. Real-Time Data Synchronization Delays

While 3Commas syncs real-time data with exchanges, slight delays in data updates may temporarily cause minor differences in displayed values.

This behavior occurs when using Market or Conditional orders. 3Commas does not place sell orders on the exchange until your sell conditions (e.g., Stop Loss or Take Profit) are triggered.

Additionally, tools with a trailing function use Market Orders, which cannot be entered into the exchange order book like Limit Orders.

The service places sell orders at a low price to guarantee that the position closes. Don’t worry—this doesn’t mean your asset sells at that low price! The actual sell price is determined by the market at the time of the transaction.

For example, let’s say the service places a sell order for 1 BCC at 0.00050000 BTC, and the buy book (Bid orders) looks like this:

In this case, your 1 BCC will sell as follows:

This mechanism ensures the position closes efficiently without unnecessary delays.
