Take Profit

Most trades that turn into losers were profitable at some point. The pattern: a trade hits +1R, then +1.5R, then reverses to -1R because the trader held hoping for more. A take-profit at a predetermined level (often based on R-multiple targets like 1R, 2R, 3R) removes the discretion that produces this pattern.

Partial take-profits combine the best of both worlds: scale out a portion (often 50%) at a conservative target like 1R, then let the remainder run with a trailing stop. This guarantees a winning trade while preserving upside if the move continues.

On Hyperliquid, take-profits can be placed as bracket orders alongside the entry and stop-loss in a single transaction. This eliminates the "I will set my TP after entry confirms" mistake that frequently degenerates into not setting one at all.

How PerpLog uses Take Profit

PerpLog's bracket order dialog accepts entry + stop + take-profit in one workflow with R:R presets (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:5). The Pyramid Entries feature can also scale out at configurable R-multiples while letting the remainder pyramid further.
