Because of this, we cannot guarantee stop losses. Be cautious when keeping trades open while the market is closed, as there is a risk of liquidation due to a significant gap in the opposite direction once the market reopens. On the flip side, this could also result in a larger win than anticipated, as volatility affects both sides. Please keep this in mind when using high leverage. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
