A take profit is a pending order that automatically closes a position when the price reaches a specified profit target. It locks in gains without requiring you to monitor the trade. Once triggered, a take profit becomes a market order and is filled at the best available price. Using take profit together with stop loss defines the risk-reward profile of a trade.
You buy USD/JPY at 155.00 and set a take profit at 156.00. When the price reaches 156.00, your position is automatically closed, securing 100 pips of profit. This works even if you are away from your screen.
