Trading mechanics

# Take profit

A resting order that closes a position at a target price. Paired with a stop loss it fixes the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade at the moment it is placed, before the outcome is known.

GFN’s figure

Against a GFN 10% 1 Step target, thirty trades at 0.5% risk and a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio reaching target 40% of the time clears $10,000 on a $100,000 account - one illustration of an arithmetic that has many shapes.

In detail

## Take profit, explained

A take-profit removes the hardest decision from the point at which it is hardest to make. It also caps the winners, which is the trade-off a trailing exit is designed to avoid.

On an evaluation the discipline is worth more than the upside: a fixed target makes results comparable across trades, which is what makes a sample of them meaningful.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Stop loss](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/stop-loss) - A resting order that closes a losing position at a predetermined level. It is the mechanism that turns a risk-per-trade figure into an actual limit rather than an intention.
- [Risk-reward ratio](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/risk-reward-ratio) - The size of a trade's target relative to its stop, expressed as a ratio. A 2:1 trade risks one unit to make two, which sets the win rate the strategy needs in order to be profitable.
- [R-multiple](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/r-multiple) - A trade's result expressed in units of its initial risk. Risking $200 and making $600 is +3R; hitting the stop is -1R. It makes results comparable across account sizes and position sizes.
- [Limit order](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/limit-order) - An instruction to trade only at a specified price or better. It controls the price but not the fill: if the market never reaches the level, or passes through it too quickly, the order does not execute.
- [Partial close](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/partial-close) - Closing part of a position while leaving the remainder open. It banks some of the result and reduces the risk carried by the trade without giving up exposure entirely.
