To sell a coin below your entry when no bot is running, use an available Pionex stop-limit sell order and set both a trigger price and a limit price. The trigger activates the order; the limit controls the lowest accepted sale price. Execution is not guaranteed.

Trigger and limit do different jobs
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Trigger price | Condition that places the sell instruction |
| Limit price | Lowest price the resulting sell order accepts |
| Quantity | Amount of the coin to sell |
Why a stop-limit can remain unfilled
After the trigger, Pionex places a limit order. If the market falls through the limit before buyers fill it, the order can stay open while price continues lower. Thin liquidity and fast movement increase this risk.
Example structure
If an asset trades at 100 and your plan becomes invalid below 90, you might choose a trigger near 90 and a lower limit that provides some execution room. This is only an illustration; the gap must reflect liquidity, spread and your acceptable price.
Set the order carefully
- Open the exact spot pair and advanced order controls.
- Select Sell and Stop-Limit.
- Enter trigger, limit and quantity.
- Review the estimated loss and receive asset.
- After triggering, check whether the limit order filled.

Frequently asked questions
Can you set a stop-limit sell below your entry price on Pionex?
Yes, where the current market supports that advanced order. Set a trigger and a limit sell price after deciding the loss you are willing to accept.
What is the trigger price?
It is the market condition that activates the instruction to place the limit order.
What is the limit price?
It is the minimum price accepted by the sell order after the trigger. The order will not fill below that price.
Does a stop-limit guarantee the sale?
No. If price moves quickly below the limit, the order can remain open without filling.
How is a stop-limit different from trailing sell?
A stop-limit responds to a fixed trigger and limit. A trailing instruction follows price under its configured rule and serves a different exit plan.
Should the trigger and limit be identical?
They can be, but fast markets may move through both. A price gap between them can improve fill flexibility while accepting a lower possible price.
What should you check before saving the order?
Check asset quantity, pair liquidity, trigger, limit, current price, estimated loss, open-order status and what you will do if it does not fill.
A stop-limit controls the acceptable price but does not guarantee an exit during a fast decline.
