Warning "Orderbook and stoploss_on_exchange" - Using `ask_strategy.order_book_max` higher than 1 will increase the risk, since an eventual [stoploss on exchange](#understand-order_types) will be needed to be cancelled as soon as the order is placed. Also, the sell order will remain on the exchange for `unfilledtimeout.sell` (or until it's filled) - which can lead to missed stoplosses (even without stoploss on exchange). +!!!
