Setting Take Profits: Single, Multiple, and Trailing Stops
TradeShields allows you to set up to three take profit levels or use trailing stops for dynamic profit-taking.
How to configure:
- Navigate to Exit Settings.
- Select a take profit option from the dropdown menu:
- Single take profit
- Two take profits
- Three take profits
- Trailing stop
- For multiple take profits, configure each level:
- 1st take profit (Field 1): Enter a value as a percentage or decimal from the entry price (e.g., 0.01 for 1%).
- 2nd take profit (Field 2): Enter the second profit level (if applicable).
- 3rd take profit (Field 3): Enter the third profit level (if applicable).
Example:
- For a trade with three take profits:
- 1st take profit: 1% (0.01).
- 2nd take profit: 2% (0.02).
- 3rd take profit: 3% (0.03).
- For a trailing stop:
- Set a trailing distance (e.g., 0.02 for 2%).
Tips:
- Use multiple take profits to scale out of positions gradually.
- Trailing stops are ideal for capturing extended trends.
