Take-Profit

Risk Management

An order that automatically closes a winning trade once it reaches your target price, locking in profit.

A take-profit order automatically closes a trade once the price reaches a specified favorable level, locking in gains without requiring you to watch the market. It's typically set alongside a stop-loss so that both the potential gain and potential loss on a trade are defined in advance. A common approach is to set a take-profit distance that is a multiple of the stop-loss distance, to maintain a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
