Take-profit: An order that closes a winning trade automatically at a target price.
A take-profit locks in gains at a level you chose in advance, often the next resistance, a round number or a multiple of your stop distance.
Example: entry 4,100, stop 4,094, take-profit 4,112: risk $6, reward $12, a 1:2 risk-reward.
