Stop Loss / Take Profit
Stop Loss / Take Profit — Close trades on your terms with Investio
At Investio, we understand the importance of controlling risks and locking in profits. The Stop Loss and Take Profit tools allow you to automatically close trades at predefined levels, helping you manage positions efficiently and stress-free.
What are Stop Loss and Take Profit?
- Stop Loss — an order that automatically closes a trade if the price moves against you and reaches the potential loss level. This is your "safety" mechanism for capital protection.
- Take Profit — an order that locks in profit by closing a trade when the price reaches the desired profit level.
How does it work in practice?
For example, you buy a stock at $100. To limit potential losses, you set Stop Loss at $95 — if the price drops to this level, the trade automatically closes and you lose no more than $5 per share. At the same time, you set Take Profit at $110 — when the price reaches this level, the system locks in your profit, and you exit the trade with $10 per share gain.
