# TP/SL issues

Use this page when **Take Profit**, **Stop Loss**, or breakeven behaves differently from what you expected.

## Case 1: I cannot see my take profit or stop loss

**Symptom**

You expect an exit order to be active, but you do not see it clearly.

**Possible cause**

* the exit was not added yet
* the order is linked to the position but you are checking the wrong tab
* the exit setup was replaced during a later update

**How to check**

1. Open **Positions** and check the **TP / SL** column.
2. Open **Orders** and see whether the active exit order is listed there.
3. Review whether the position was opened with exit instructions in the first place.

**What to do next**

* if nothing is active, add the exit from **Positions**
* if the setup was recently changed, confirm that the latest version is the one now active

## Case 2: I am trying to edit TP or SL from Orders

**Symptom**

You are looking in **Orders**, but cannot find the right way to edit the exit setup.

**Possible cause**

* in Entry Finance, exit logic is managed from **Positions**, not from **Orders**

**How to check**

1. Open **Positions** for the live trade.
2. Find the **TP / SL** controls for that position.

**What to do next**

* use **Orders** to monitor or cancel active exit orders
* use **Positions** to add, update, or replace **Take Profit** and **Stop Loss**

## Case 3: The stop-loss or take-profit closes the wrong size

**Symptom**

The exit closes only part of the trade, or more or less size than you expected.

**Possible cause**

* **Entire position** was disabled
* the exit was created for only part of the position
* the position size changed after a partial close, but the exit setup was not reviewed again

**How to check**

1. Check whether **Entire position** was enabled when the exit was created.
2. Open **Positions** and review the current position size.
3. Compare that size with the active exit setup.

**What to do next**

* update the exit if the wrong size was selected
* after any partial close, re-check the remaining **TP / SL** structure
* review [How to manage TP/SL](/using-the-terminal/how-to-manage-tp-sl) if you are scaling out in stages

## Case 4: The breakeven action is unavailable

**Symptom**

The breakeven action is visible but cannot be used.

**Possible cause**

* the position is not yet profitable

**How to check**

1. Check the current unrealized PnL.
2. Confirm whether the position is actually in profit.

**What to do next**

* wait until the position is profitable enough for breakeven to become available
* if needed, continue managing risk with the normal stop-loss flow

## Case 5: The old stop-loss disappeared after I placed breakeven

**Symptom**

You placed breakeven and the previous stop-loss is no longer there.

**Possible cause**

* this is expected behavior in Entry Finance
* breakeven replaces the existing stop-loss structure rather than adding a second stop

**How to check**

1. Open **Positions** and review the current **TP / SL** state.
2. Open **Orders** and confirm the new breakeven stop is active.

**What to do next**

* treat breakeven as a stop replacement event
* confirm the new stop is at the intended level before leaving the trade unattended

## Case 6: The stop-loss triggered, but the result is different from entry

**Symptom**

The protective exit worked, but the final result is not exactly flat or matches entry less closely than expected.

**Possible cause**

* **Include Fees** was not enabled in breakeven
* market execution introduced slippage
* trading fees changed the all-in result

**How to check**

1. Check whether **Include Fees** was enabled.
2. Review the order type used for the stop.
3. Review the final fills and fees in trade history if needed.

**What to do next**

* expect small differences when fees or market execution are involved
* use fee-aware breakeven when the goal is to protect the all-in result more closely
