A big part of trading success is knowing when to exit. Two key tools for this are Take Profit and Trailing Stop orders.
- Take Profit (TP) 💵 closes your trade once your profit target is reached.
- Stop Loss (SL) ❌ prevents excessive losses.
- Trailing Stop (TS) 🔄 follows the price in your favour, locking in gains as the market moves.
Why use them? ✅ They remove emotion, ✅ protect profits, and ✅ limit losses.
Best practices in 2025:
• Aim for a clear risk-reward ratio (1:2 or higher).
• Adjust SL and TS distances to volatility.
• Never move SL further away if price turns against you.
• Use support, resistance, and other technical levels to set TP and SL.
• Combine TP with TS to secure minimum profit while letting winners run.
👉 Example: Long EUR/USD at 1.1000.
- SL ❌ at 1.0950 (risk 50 pips)
- TP 💵 at 1.1100 (reward 100 pips)
- TS 🔄 30 pips activates once price moves in your favour. If price rises, TS trails and locks in profit. If it reverses, you still keep gains.
