Take Profit Order

A Take Profit (TP) order is a type of pending order used by traders. It automatically closes a position once the price reaches a specific profit target. It is designed to lock in gains without requiring the trader to monitor the market constantly. When the market hits the set take profit level, the order is triggered. As a result, the trade is closed at the best available price.

Take Profit orders are commonly used in combination with Stop Loss orders. While the Stop Loss limits potential losses, the Take Profit ensures that profits are secured. This occurs before the market has a chance to reverse.
