`stoploss` defines the stop-price where the limit order is placed - and limit should be slightly below this. `stoploss` defines the stop-price where the limit order is placed - and limit should be slightly below this.
If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type. If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type.
Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100\$. Calculation example: we bought the asset at \$100.
Stop-price is 95\$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the limit order fill can happen between 95$ and 94.05$. Stop-price is \$95, then limit would be `$95 * 0.99 = $94.05` - so the limit order fill can happen between $95 and $94.05.
For example, assuming the stoploss is on exchange, and trailing stoploss is enabled, and the market is going up, then the bot automatically cancels the previous stoploss order and puts a new one with a stop value higher than the previous stoploss order.

Make sure to have this value (`trailing_stop_positive_offset`) lower than minimal ROI, otherwise minimal ROI will apply first and sell the trade. Make sure to have this value (`trailing_stop_positive_offset`) lower than minimal ROI, otherwise minimal ROI will apply first and sell the trade.
