A take-profit level marks where gains should be realized.

Definition

Take profit is a preset exit that closes a trade once price reaches a target level.

It keeps the trader from improvising profit-taking in the middle of a moving trade.

In practice

A take-profit level helps convert a vague upside idea into a concrete reward plan that can be compared against the stop-loss.

The common mistake is setting targets from wishful thinking instead of chart structure. A target should reflect where the setup would reasonably prove itself.
