Take Profit Market Orders
Take Profit Limit orders enable traders to set targets and protect profits on holdings by letting them choose a price at which to liquidate an open position for a profit. A limit order will be triggered when the profit price in a Take Profit Limit order is achieved.
A trader who is taking a long position sets a take profit ceiling higher than the going rate. The stop loss for a short position is placed below the market rate by the trader. If the Oracle Price rises or falls to the take-profit level, the T/P order becomes "Open" and functions like a typical limit order. Short-term traders that wish to reduce risk are the best candidates to use take-profit orders.
