📈**Take Profit** specifies the exact price at which to close out an open position for a profit. If the price of the token does not reach the limit price, the take-profit order does not get filled. Learn more [here](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/take-profitorder.asp).

📉**Stop Loss** specifies that a token is to be sold when it reaches a specified price known as the stop price. Learn more [here](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stop-lossorder.asp).

The key advantage of using Limit Orders is that, you don’t need to monitor your holdings daily. It also allows you to follow your strategy before you open a trade, therefore, minimizing the number 1 enemy of a professional trader — your own emotions.

## Functioning of Limit Orders

👉Limit orders are executed in a decentralized way by liquidation bots that track and close trading positions which satisfy limit order conditions. For example, if a trading position reached a target profit or stop loss percentage, any liquidation bot can call WOW smart-contract and close this position.

💵**Executing limit orders is free for users**, liquidation bot operators pay for gas and don’t get any extra rewards or compensating for closing these positions.
