# Modify stop-loss and take-profit settings on an open position

> **Rate limit:** 60 requests per 60 seconds. This is the **default shared quota** — it is shared with every other endpoint that has no dedicated limit, so requests across those endpoints all draw from the same budget.

---

Submits an asynchronous request to update stop-loss and/or take-profit on an open position. You can set a new stopLossRate, takeProfitRate, stopLossType, or clear either value (clearStopLoss, clearTakeProfit). At least one SL/TP-related field is required. The response returns acceptance and correlation metadata only.
