Configure a Take Profit
A take profit closes your position automatically when the price reaches a target you set. Like a stop loss, it runs in the background from the moment your position opens. This page covers how to configure it inside an Order node.
Open the Order node settings
Click the Order node on your canvas. In the settings panel, scroll to the Close Position If section and turn on the TP/SL toggle. Market, direction, size, leverage, and slippage all sit in the same panel, so the Order node the exit lives inside is worth reading end to end before you set a target.
Set the take-profit level
Two options are available:
Price: Enter the exact target price. When the market reaches this level, the take profit triggers and the position closes.
% Move: Enter a target percentage relative to your entry price. For example, a 10% take profit on a long position closes it when the price rises 10% above your fill price.
The percentage is measured against price, not against the margin you put up, so the leverage behind the position decides what that same 10% does to your account.
How the take profit closes
When the take profit triggers, it closes the position with a market order at the next available price. There is no limit option. A take profit always exits at market so it fills, which means it accepts slippage.
Set a slippage tolerance to limit the range of acceptable fill prices.
Take profit alongside a closing Trigger
You can configure a take profit at the Order node level and also add a closing Trigger in your flow. Both run simultaneously. Whichever is met first closes the position.
Take profit is better suited for simple price-based exits. A closing Trigger is better for indicator-based exits, for example, closing when RSI crosses above 70 rather than when price hits a fixed level.
Tips
A take profit set at the Order node level closes only the position opened by that specific node. If you have multiple Order nodes, each needs its own take-profit configuration.
Take-profit conditions run on Synchronicity’s infrastructure in the background. You do not need the Strategy Builder open, or your machine on, for them to run.
If your exit logic depends on multiple conditions or a complex indicator, use a closing Trigger rather than the built-in take profit. The Trigger uses the same condition blocks as an Indicator, so it can read any feed and aggregator.
Next steps
A take-profit level is a claim about how far a move tends to run before it gives back. Treat it as one: backtest the exit before you deploy it, compare two or three target levels over the same window, and keep the one the data supports.
