How to set a stop-loss on NEAR

Step by step

1. Open the token in the Terminal (search a name, ticker or contract).
2. Switch to Auto orders in the side column. On a phone, tap Auto in the bottom bar: Trade and Auto orders share one sheet.
3. Choose Stop-loss and set the trigger: a price, a market cap (the supply is read from the token), or a quick percentage chip below the current price.
4. Pick the amount, the expiry (1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days) and the maximum slippage (up to 5%).
5. Place it. One wallet approval does everything: the 0.02 NEAR order deposit, any token registrations, and the transfer of your tokens into the orders contract.
6. Watch it in the open orders list, which shows your level, the expiry and a Cancel button.

What happens after you place it

Your tokens wait in the orders contract nekoorders.near. With the default sealed trigger the chain stores only a hash of your level, so nobody reading the contract can see where your stop sits. The keeper checks open orders about every second while its server runs (every minute otherwise). When the pool price reaches your level, the contract quotes the pool itself, swaps through the best Rhea route at that moment (Intear DEX for TEAR and Intear launch tokens, the launch contract for Shards tokens) and sends the result to your wallet in the same transaction. The full sequence is in how auto orders fire.

What it costs

• 0.02 NEAR per order, paid up front: 0.01 comes back when the order closes, 0.01 pays whoever executes it.
• The site fee as for any swap (0.5% on most tokens), taken at the fill.
• No gas for the fill itself: the executor pays it.

Limits worth knowing

• A stop sells at the pool's price when it fires. After a fast drop that price can be below your level; the maximum slippage only limits how far the price may move during the fill.
• On a thin pool a quick dump can set off a stop. The panel shows a "Thin pool" warning when about 10 NEAR would move the reference pool more than 10%.
• No partial fills: the whole amount is sold in one swap.
• Every order expires (30 days at most). Tokens with a creator tax above 10% never fill.
• Orders on Intear DEX pools are refused when 5 NEAR would move the price more than 15%.

Who can move your tokens

While the order is open, the contract can send your tokens only to the exchange for the swap or back to you, and only you can cancel. On 20 October 2026 the contract account still held its full-access owner key for the trial period; locking it (deleting every key) is a planned owner step. The account's keys are public on NearBlocks.
