Take Profit

An order that closes a trade automatically to lock in a gain.

A take profit is a preset order that closes your position once price reaches your target, securing the gain without needing to watch the market. Used with a stop loss, it defines your risk-to-reward before you enter.

Example

Buying at 1.1050 with a take profit at 1.1090 locks in 40 pips if hit.
