What is Take Profit?

Order TypesBeginner

A take profit order automatically closes your trade when the price reaches a target level, locking in your gains. Setting a take profit at £12 on a stock bought at £10 means you'll sell automatically for a 20% gain. Used alongside stop losses to create a defined risk/reward setup.
