Target Profit Calculation Example

Example 1:


Assume the trade is a long trade, the high of the entry bar is 10, and the profit target percent is 20.


10 + (10 * (20 * .01)) = 12


If at any time during the trade prices hit 12, the trade would be exited.


Example 2:


Assume the trade is a short trade, the low of the entry bar is 10, and the profit target percent is 20.


10 - (10 * (20 * .01)) = 8


If at any time during the trade prices hit 8, the trade would be exited.
