What is OCO in Binance Spot Trading?
OCO means One Cancels the Other.
In Binance Spot, an OCO order lets you place two orders at the same time:
1️⃣ A Take-Profit order
2️⃣ A Stop-Loss order
When one order is executed, the other is automatically cancelled.
Why traders use OCO?
✅ Manage risk automatically
✅ Lock profits without watching charts all day
✅ Avoid emotional decisions
✅ Useful for volatile markets
Simple example
You buy a coin at $100
• Take-Profit: sell at $110
• Stop-Loss: sell at $95
If price hits $110 → profit order executes, stop-loss cancels
If price drops to $95 → stop-loss executes, take-profit cancels
You stay protected either way.
When to use OCO
• After entering a spot trade
• During high volatility
• When you can’t monitor the market
• For disciplined trading plans
OCO is not a strategy — it’s a risk-management tool.
Good traders survive by managing risk, not chasing pumps.
