Take profit percent

Use the Take profit percent field to dynamically calculate a limit price for your take profit using a relative percentage. For example, if you configured your Take profit percent 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": {
        "percent": 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
    }
}
