Why should I use Auto Take Profit over realizing profits manually?
Auto Take profit automation is much more hands off than realizing profits manually. The main benefit is that you can make your decisions about at what price and how much profit you want to realize well before it happens, and the automation will do it for you!
This is in stark contrast to the experience of having to constantly monitor the market, connect your wallet and sign transactions, and thats assuming you are close to your set up!
How does Auto Take Profit work?
Auto Take Profit works by monitoring the market price of your positions collateral relative to your *Minimum Realize Profit Starting Price (*the price you set to begin realizing profits) and it’s relative LTV.
Once that price or LTV is reached, our Smart Contract Automation executes a trigger and withdraws collateral from your vault and sends either the collateral or debt token to your wallet. The amount of which is determined by the Withdrawal Step you set, which is defaulted to 5%, but customizable.
After the starting LTV is triggered, your position will realize profits based on your Trigger LTV, while your withdrawal step remains the same. The Same Contract Automation then executes every time the your Trigger LTV is reached.
Why is my starting LTV different than my trigger LTV?
Your starting LTV is different because of your Minimum Realize Profit Starting Price. Giving you the ability to select the price at which you want to begin realizing profits and the customizability of being able set specific continuous auto take profit parameters that are not anchored to your original Minimum Realize Profit Starting Price requires the use of a second, continuous Trigger LTV.
Am I selling collateral when I take profit?
That’s up to you! Auto Take Profit automation gives you the choice to receive collateral or debt to your wallet upon a trigger. If you choose to receive collateral, there will be no selling. If you choose to receive the debt token (eg. USDC), your withdrawn collateral will be sold for the debt token.
Why do I have to have a Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss enabled to use auto take profit?
Using Auto Take Profit means that every time you realize profits, your position LTV will increase along side your Liquidation price. Mandatory Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss allows you to get the best of both worlds. Realize Profits when the price is going up, and protect your downside when the price is going down.
