Trailing Take-Profit
Trailing Take-Profit does not fix the target at a single price: the closing level travels behind the price at a set distance from the peak and fires when the price pulls back by that percentage.
What it is
An ordinary take-profit closes part of the position exactly at the price from the signal. Trailing Take-Profit adds an offset from the peak: while the price keeps making new highs (for LONG), the closing level is pulled up after it; it cannot move in the unfavourable direction. The close happens on a pullback by the set percentage from the best price reached.
The feature works only at the Take-Profit stage — after the position has been built up.
Where it is in the bot
Signal bot card → Trading settings → Take-Profit → Trailing Take-Profit. The screen heading is “Trading Settings → Trailing Take-Profit”, and it shows “Current value: disabled” or a percentage.
How to set it up
- Enter the percentage from the peak — from 0.01 to 50. The bot replies “✅ Trailing TP set: 1%”.
- To switch it off use the ❌ Disable trailing TP button; the bot replies “✅ Trailing TP disabled”.
On a new bot Trailing Take-Profit is off.
Example with a calculation
LONG, entry 60,000, Trailing Take-Profit 1 %.
| Event | Peak | Closing level (peak × 0.99) |
|---|---|---|
| The price reached 63,000 | 63,000 | 62,370 |
| The price rose to 64,000 | 64,000 | 63,360 |
| The price pulled back to 63,360 | 64,000 | closed at 63,360 |
Without trailing the position would have closed at the fixed target from the signal. With trailing at 1 %, after the rise to 64,000 and the pullback, the close happened at 63,360 — higher than a 62,000 target if the signal had one, but 1 % below the peak: that is the price of being able to ride past the target.
The other side of it: if the price reaches 63,000 and immediately falls by 1 %, the close happens at 62,370 — slightly below the peak. The smaller the percentage, the closer to the peak the close, but the more often it fires on ordinary market noise.
Limits and allowed values
| Parameter | Range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage from the peak | 0.01–50 % | disabled by default |
| Stage | Take-Profit only | does not act at the entry stage |
| Direction the level moves | only the favourable way | it never moves back |
Common errors and what the bot says
- “Invalid format. Enter a number, e.g. 0.5 or 1.25” — enter a number with a dot.
- “Allowed range: 0.01% — 50%” — the value is outside the range.
- The position closed below the peak — that is by design: trailing fires on the pullback, not at the very high.
