Definition

A take-profit order is an exit instruction intended to close some or all of a profitable position when a selected favorable price is available.

In market context

For a long position it commonly behaves like a sell limit, while for a short position it commonly uses a buy limit. The target can be reached without a fill if liquidity or priority is insufficient, and early execution can cap further upside. A take-profit level should be evaluated with stop placement, costs, probability, and the trade’s risk-reward plan rather than chosen solely from desired profit.
