Trade Above Threshold

Automated token sales triggered when balances surpass a specified threshold amount.

Trade Above Threshold

This programmatic 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

Parameter	Description
sellToken / buyToken	Token pair for the exchange
receiver	Destination address for purchased tokens
validityBucketSeconds	Time window determining order freshness (recommended: 300-3600 seconds)
threshold	Balance minimum triggering execution
appData	Associated metadata hash

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.
