How do I set a take profit order?
A take profit order closes your trade automatically when the price reaches your target.
When opening a trade in MT5:
- In the order dialog, enter a value in the Take Profit field.
- For a buy order, enter a price above the current price.
- For a sell order, enter a price below the current price.
- Click Buy or Sell to open the trade with the take profit set.
On an existing open trade:
- Double-click the trade in the Terminal panel (or right-click > Modify or Delete Order).
- Update the Take Profit field.
- Click Modify.
Note: Take profit is executed at the exact price if the market reaches it. During high volatility, execution may differ slightly.
