Take Profit

Definition

A preset order that closes a trade once price reaches your profit target. It locks in gains without having to watch the screen.

Example

You buy at $50 with a stop at $48 and a take-profit limit at $56, a 3-to-1 reward-to-risk setup.

Stop Loss's other half. Set your target before you're in.

In plain words

A preset price where you sell automatically to lock in a gain.
