What is Take-profit
The price where the trade closes in profit. A sensible target is the nearest liquidity in the trade's direction, not a round number of R.
How it works
The target is the range high: sellers' stops sit there.
Example
Long from 62 960, target at the range high 63 850: hit 120 minutes after entry.
Common mistake
Closing early by hand out of fear of giving profit back — MFE will later show how much you left.
