What happens to my TP/SL orders if I partially close a Crypto Futures position?

When you close part of a Crypto Futures position, the remaining amount on your existing TP/SL orders is automatically reduced to match your remaining position size, so you don't need to manually recalculate or resize anything yourself. This automatic adjustment exists specifically to prevent a leftover order from accidentally opening a position in the opposite direction — without it, an order sized for your original, larger position could end up trying to sell or buy more than you actually still hold once part of the position closes. The reduction applies proportionally and happens instantly at the moment of the partial close, and it applies the same way whether the partial close was triggered manually, by another TP/SL order executing, or by any other reduce-only action on the position.


  • Example:
  • 1. You hold a long position of 1 BTCUSDT at 80,000 USDT with two TP orders: TP 1 — sell 0.5 BTCUSDT at 85,000 USDT; TP 2 — sell 1 BTCUSDT at 90,000 USDT.
  • 2. Price reaches 85,000 USDT: TP 1 executes, selling 0.5 BTCUSDT. Your remaining position is now 0.5 BTCUSDT.
  • 3. TP 2 is automatically adjusted to sell 0.5 BTCUSDT (down from 1 BTCUSDT) to match what's left, without any action needed from you.
  • 4. Price reaches 90,000 USDT: TP 2 executes, selling the remaining 0.5 BTCUSDT, and your position is now fully closed.
  • This automatic reduction applies to full position closes as well — all TP/SL orders on a position are automatically canceled once that position is fully closed, including closes caused by liquidation, so no stray orders are left sitting on a position that no longer exists.

Related questions:

Q: Do I need to manually adjust my TP/SL after a partial close?
No — the remaining TP/SL amount adjusts automatically to match your reduced position size the instant the partial close happens, so there's no separate step for you to take or any risk of forgetting to resize it yourself.

Q: What happens to TP/SL if my position is fully closed by liquidation?
All TP/SL orders attached to that position are automatically canceled once it's liquidated, exactly as they would be after any other type of full close, so you won't be left with dangling orders referencing a position that no longer exists.

Q: Does a partial close cancel an OCO pair?
No — an OCO pair stays active with its amount reduced proportionally; only a full close of the position cancels the remaining TP/SL orders, so a partial fill on one side of an OCO pair does not break the pairing itself.

Q: Does the same proportional adjustment apply if I have Independent TP/SL orders instead of an OCO pair?
Yes — the amount reduction on a partial close applies to every remaining TP/SL order on the position regardless of whether it's Independent or part of an OCO pair.
