An order set on an open position to automatically close it when price reaches a specified profit target. In cTrader, you can attach a Take Profit level to any trade, ensuring that if the market moves in your favor to that price, the position will be closed and the profit secured. For instance, if you are short GBP/USD at 1.2500 with a TP at 1.2400, the trade will close with profit when the ask price hits 1.2400, assuming sufficient liquidity. Like stop-loss, take-profit orders are stored on the server side. Using TPs helps remove emotion by locking in gains at pre-decided levels, especially if you’re away from the screen when the target hits.
