Binance Futures price protection helps only if the position size already makes sense
Price protection can prevent some stop and take-profit orders from triggering during extreme last-price versus mark-price gaps, but it does not remove liquidation risk.

OKX support documents show that TP/SL orders depend on trigger price, order price and price source. Traders should understand those choices before using high leverage.
