Take Profit Configuration

Take Profit (TP) automatically closes your position when it reaches a profit target. Configure single or multi-level take profits to optimize your exit strategy.

1. Simple Percentage

Close the entire position at a fixed profit percentage.

| Setting | Example | |---------|---------| | Take Profit | 5% |

The position closes when unrealized profit reaches +5% from entry price.

2. Custom Multi-Level

Close portions of the position at different profit levels. Useful for scaling out gradually.

| Level | Profit Target | Close % | |-------|--------------|---------| | TP 1 | +2% | 30% | | TP 2 | +4% | 40% | | TP 3 | +8% | 30% |

• At +2% profit → 30% of the position is closed
• At +4% profit → 40% is closed
• At +8% profit → remaining 30% is closed

The total must equal 100%.

3. Signal-Based

Close when an indicator condition is met, configured through the Exit Conditions Logic Builder:

• RSI > 70 (overbought)
• MACD cross_under Signal (bearish crossover)
• Price cross_under EMA(20) (price drops below moving average)

Set a minimum profit before any take-profit level can trigger:

| Setting | Value | |---------|-------| | Min Profit | 0.5% |

With a 0.5% min profit threshold, TP levels won't trigger if the position hasn't yet reached 0.5% unrealized profit. This prevents premature closes on minor price fluctuations.

When using Grid Entry (DCA), take-profit levels are calculated from the average entry price, not the first entry:

1. Grid fills multiple orders at different prices
2. Average entry price is recalculated after each fill
3. TP levels are recomputed based on the new average
4. SL is also based on the average entry

Tip: With DCA strategies, the average entry price improves as grid levels fill, making your TP targets more achievable.

Conservative (2:1 R:R)

• SL: 2%
• TP: 4%

Scalping

• SL: 0.5%
• TP: 1% simple

Swing with Scaling

• SL: 3%
• TP: Level 1: +3% (50%), Level 2: +6% (50%)

Trend Following

• SL: 2× ATR
• TP: Signal-based (exit when trend indicator reverses)
• Safety TP: +15%

Q: What if price gaps past my TP level? A: The trade closes at the first available price past the TP level. In backtesting, this is the candle's OHLC data; slippage may occur in live trading.

Q: Can I use both fixed TP and signal-based exit? A: Yes. The position closes on whichever triggers first — fixed TP or signal condition.

Q: Should TP be larger than SL? A: Generally yes. A TP:SL ratio of at least 1.5:1 helps maintain profitability even with a lower win rate.
