Question What is a take profit?
Advice from Guru
Hi Peter,

A take profit is an order that closes a deal automatically once it reaches a certain level of profit. This type of order works as a stop loss but the latter fixes the price in order to reduce losses whereas a take profit is aimed at getting a profit.

A take profit level is forecasted beforehand and set at the moment of opening a new deal by exact number of pips. In other words, traders calculate an interval the price should pass and then they place a take profit order according to their expectations. Thus, they fix the achieved profit level. When the set level is reached, the trades are automatically closed locking in profit.
