Ladder TP (Ladder Take Profit)

The Ladder TP engine takes partial profits at multiple levels automatically. Instead of closing your entire position at one price, you scale out gradually — securing profits at each level while letting the remainder run.

How It Works

You define multiple take-profit levels, each with a percentage of the total position to close. As price reaches each level, the engine closes that percentage and moves to the next level.

Example Setup

Level	Target	Close %	Action
Level 1	1:1 R:R	30%	Close 30% of position
Level 2	1:2 R:R	30%	Close another 30%
Level 3	1:3 R:R	40%	Close remaining 40%

Total: 100% of the position is closed across 3 levels.

Walk Through Example

Setup: BUY 0.10 lots XAUUSD at 2650, SL at 2620 (Risk = 30 pips)

Level	R:R	TP Price	Close Volume	Remaining
Level 1	1:1	2680	0.03 lots (30%)	0.07 lots
Level 2	1:2	2710	0.03 lots (30%)	0.04 lots
Level 3	1:3	2740	0.04 lots (40%)	0.00 lots

Result: You've captured profit at three different levels instead of hoping price reaches your single TP.

Configuration Methods

Ladder TP supports three methods for defining target levels:

Method 1: Risk-Reward (R:R)

Set levels based on multiples of your risk (distance from breakeven to stop loss).

Level 1: 1:1 R:R → TP at 1× risk from breakeven
Level 2: 1:2 R:R → TP at 2× risk from breakeven
Level 3: 1:3 R:R → TP at 3× risk from breakeven

Requires stop loss

R:R method requires a stop loss to be set on your positions. The risk distance is calculated from the breakeven to the current stop loss.

Method 2: Pips

Set levels as fixed pip distances from breakeven:

Level 1: 30 pips from BE
Level 2: 60 pips from BE
Level 3: 100 pips from BE

Method 3: Price

Set levels at specific price points:

Level 1: 2680.00
Level 2: 2710.00
Level 3: 2740.00

Configuring Ladder TP

1
Open the Ladder TP modal
From the Command Keys grid, click LADDER TP, or navigate to the Automation section.
2
Choose the method
Select R:R, Pips, or Price as your method for defining levels.
3
Add levels
Define each level with its target and the percentage of the position to close. The total across all levels should equal 100%.
4
Activate
Click Activate to start the ladder. The engine monitors prices and executes partial closes as each level is reached.

Progress Tracking

Once active, Ladder TP tracks progress per position:

Completed levels — Shows which levels have been executed
Current level — The next level waiting to be triggered
Remaining volume — How much of the original position is still open
Total profit captured — Cumulative profit from all completed levels

Tips for Using Ladder TP

Combine with Trail SL

After Level 1 executes, consider activating Trail SL on the remaining position. This way, your remaining position captures more profit with a trailing stop while you've already banked some gains from the ladder.

Conservative setup: 50% at 1:1, 50% at 1:2 — secures half your position quickly
Aggressive setup: 20% at 1:1, 30% at 1:2, 50% at 1:3 — lets more of the position run further
Scalping setup: 70% at 1:1, 30% at 1:2 — takes most profit quickly with a runner

Percentage total

Make sure your level percentages add up to exactly 100%. If they add up to less than 100%, part of your position won't be managed by the ladder.
