 `emergencysell` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stoploss on exchange orders fails.
 The below is the default which is used if this is not configured in either strategy or configuration file.
 
+Since `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.
+`stoploss` defines the stop-price - and limit should be slightly below this. This defaults to 0.99 / 1%.
+Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100$.
+Stop-price is 95$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the stoploss will happen between 95$ and 94.05$.
