Type Alias: PerpStopIntent

PerpStopIntent = "reduceOnly" | "opening"

Defined in: packages/sdk/src/trade.ts:917

Whether a triggered perp stop may only REDUCE the signer's position, or may open and increase one.

Omitting it means "reduceOnly" — a take-profit or stop-loss, which is what every perp stop was before intent existed. "opening" is a stop-entry or breakout: it acquires exposure rather than shedding it, so the registry gates it on initial margin at creation instead of on holding a reducible position.
