In brief, Fondex cTrader’s Advanced Take Profit feature allows users to automatically partially close positions depending on the profit level.

After you click on the shield you will get the following pop up 

Here you will see two sections, the Advanced Take Profit and the Advanced Stop Loss. In the Advanced Take Profit section you can configure the position’s Advanced Take Profit settings. Advanced Stop Loss will be discussed in an upcoming article. Fondex cTrader offers the option to configure four different take profit levels where you can partially close your position’s volume. To enable each partial take profit level do the following

1. Tick the Take Profit.

2. Choose the Pips in profit that will serve as a trigger.

Note: On the Advanced Protection form that you will receive, the following warnings are displayed.

* cTrader must be running and connected to the internet for Advanced Stop Loss and Advanced Take Profit to work properly.

You need to make sure that Fondex cTrader is running for your advanced protection to be applied else you are in danger of leaving your position unprotected

Using Fondex cTrader chart trading features, you can drag the levels at different price levels, fine tuning your setup further.

Advanced Take Profit is an ideal tool that allows you to successfully exit your trades in a more sophisticated way than a simple take profit. For example if you are trading Fibonacci retracements, you can use partial take profits to secure some of your profit on each Fibonacci level, while staying in the trade and speculating on further development of the trend. Also Advanced Take Profit is one of these features that makes Fondex cTrader unique when compared to other widely used trading platforms.
