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 when Allow signal override next to the take profit settings (or the global Allow signal overrides) is enabled. 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
    }
}
