# 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.

<Note>
  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

<Warning>
  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.
