Trade Above Threshold

This conditional order type continuously monitors token balances and automatically triggers sell orders once a threshold is reached. The mechanism sells the entire current balance at the current market price.

Key Parameters

Execution Behavior

When triggered, the order sells your complete balance — not just the excess above the threshold. The system uses buyAmount = 1 to create a market order without price protection.
While there’s no explicit limit price, solvers are incentivized to maximize your output to win the batch.

Practical Applications

  • Automated yield reward conversions
  • Dollar-cost averaging out of positions
  • Protocol fee collection and conversion
  • Token stream liquidation
This order type sells at market price without price limits. The CoW Protocol’s competitive solver mechanism provides execution incentives, but no guaranteed minimum output exists.
