# Mechanism

With the new Resell Position feature, buyers can now resell **their position of BUY ORDERS** to **Take Profit/**S**top loss** in the scenario where market condition shifts, even after the orders got filled.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In the first phase, the Resell Position mechanism will only apply to **buy orders**. Sell-side exits will be supported in future updates.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Resell Position Mechanism

Whales Market allows Buyers to exit their pre-market positions by reselling them before the token generation event (TGE), enabling greater flexibility and liquidity.

1. **Initial Trade**

The original seller creates a pre-market order to sell tokens. A buyer fills the order, and both parties lock collateral equal to the trade value to secure the agreement until the settlement date.

2. **Resell Opportunity**

Before the TGE, if the buyer decides to resell the position - due to market shifts or strategy changes - they can list the position for resale on Whales Market.

{% hint style="danger" %}
To safeguard buyer interests, orders cannot exceed a 80% increase from their original price
{% endhint %}

3. **Position Transfer & Collateral Flow**

When a new buyer accepts the resale order:

* The new buyer pays the resale amount directly to the original buyer.
* The original buyer's locked collateral is transferred to the new buyer as security for settlement.
* The original buyer exits the position with their capital returned and any realized profit from the resale.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Note: Once you buy a resell order, your funds are transferred directly to the creator of that resell order.

In some exceptional cases, although very rare, if a third-party project does not create a liquidity pool for the token on the blockchain that we have listed, we may have to cancel trading of that token. In such cases, the buyer of the resell order will have to accept a loss and will only receive back the collateral from the original buyer.
{% endhint %}

4. **Settlement Enforcement**

On the settlement date, the Seller must deliver the agreed tokens to the Secondary Buyer (the holder of the position at the time of settlement).\
\
If the original seller does not settle, the current buyer will receive the collateral from both the original seller and the original buyer.

## 2. Example 

* **A** sells $WLFI at **$0.10** → **B** buys **$1,000**.
* **B** resells at **$0.15** → **C** buys for **$1,500**.
* If **A** fails to settle, **C** receives collateral from both **A** and **B**, totaling **$2,000 excluding platform fee**.
