Strategy Field

Take profit amount

Use the Take profit amount field to dynamically calculate a limit price for your take profit using a relative dollar amount. For example, if you configured your Take profit amount to be $10 and we enter at $100, the limit price would be $110.

You can also control this from the webhook as well. Any take profit you send in your webhook will be used instead of the one configured in the strategy settings.

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "takeProfit": {
        "amount": 10
    }
}

Or if you want to calculate your own take profit limit price, you can do so as well by sending an explicit limitPrice in your webhook.

{
    "ticker": "AAPL",
    "action": "buy",
    "orderType": "limit",
    "limitPrice": 100,
    "takeProfit": {
        "limitPrice": 110
    }
}
