How does it work?

Take Profit is a tool you can work into your exit strategy.

Take profit orders allow you to automatically sell an asset if its price goes up by the profit percentage you choose.

This means you can capitalize on potential market uptrends without having to monitor the asset’s every price movement - saving you time, and stress. Having a pre-planned trading strategy can also help mitigate some of the risks associated with emotional or impulsive trading.

How to use the ‘Take Profit’ feature:

  1. Tap option to ‘Take Profit’ when buying an asset
  2. Set the percentage increase in price at which you want to take profit
  3. Sit back and relax

‘Take Profit’ can help you take control of your portfolio as well as your time. Log in now to explore our newest trading tool. Want more from Uphold? Follow us on Twitter and Linkedin for more updates.
