A safety order is a risk-management concept used in some automated trading systems to add exposure at predefined levels if price moves against an open position.

Why it matters

The goal is usually to improve the average entry price while staying inside a predefined risk framework.

Important caution

Safety orders increase exposure. They are not a guarantee of recovery and should only be used within a clearly defined risk model.

In TradeLand context

TradeLand presents Portfolio Manager as the public product. Specific execution logic can vary by strategy and market conditions, so users should focus on the account-level risk profile and reporting rather than assuming any single tactic is always active.
