In case of stoploss on exchange there is another parameter called `stoploss_on_exchange_interval`. This configures the interval in seconds at which the bot will check the stoploss and update it if necessary.
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.
The bot cannot do this every 5 seconds (at each iteration), otherwise it would get banned by the exchange.
The bot cannot do these every 5 seconds (at each iteration), otherwise it would get banned by the exchange.
So this parameter will tell the bot how often it should update the stoploss order. The default value is 60 (1 minute).
This same logic will reapply a stoploss order on the exchange should you cancel it accidentally.
!!! Note
Stoploss on exchange is only supported for Binance (stop-loss-limit), Kraken (stop-loss-market) and FTX (stop limit and stop-market) as of now.

### Trailing stop loss, custom positive loss
It is also possible to have a default stop loss, when you are in the red with your buy (buy - fee), but once you hit positive result the system will utilize a new stop loss, which can have a different value.
For example your default stop loss is -10%, but once you have more than 0% profit (example 0.1%) a different trailing stoploss will be used.

!!! Note
If you want the stoploss to only be changed when you break even of making a profit (what most users want) please refere to next section with [offset enabled](#Trailing-stop-loss-only-once-the-trade-has-reached-a-certain-offset).
Both values require `trailing_stop` to be set to true and `trailing_stop_positive` with a value.

The 0.02 would translate to a -2% stop loss.
