🧠 1. About Time-Based Take Profit

Time-Based Take Profit allows traders to define a single take profit level that the system evaluates only after a specified time has passed. Rather than reacting instantly to price movement, this strategy checks the unrealized profit at a specific time, giving users a more structured and disciplined exit strategy.

🔍 How It Works:

• The trade remains open until the defined time elapses.
• Once that time is reached, the system checks the unrealized profit.
• If the profit is equal to or greater than the set TP level, the trade will close automatically.
• If the profit is below the TP level, the trade will remain open and follow your default closing logic (e.g., manual or other conditions). Trade will close when unrealized profit is equal to the time-base level

This approach is ideal for traders who want time-conditioned exits that avoid premature closures due to temporary price fluctuations.

🛠️ 2. Setting Up Time-Based TP

1. Navigate to the “Take Profit” Section

   • Choose either Simple Take Profit or Smart Take Profit based on your strategy.

2. Enable "Add Time-Based Level"

   • Click the blue ➕ Add Time-Based Level option.

   • A field will appear for defining your TP and time delay.

     

3. Configure the Settings

   • New Level (%): Enter your desired take profit target.

   • Time: Specify the number of minutes/hours after which the profit should be evaluated.

     

📈 3. Example

✅ Example 1: Time-Based TP in Action

• TP: 2%
• Time: 90 minutes

After 90 minutes, the system checks your unrealized profit:

• If it's ≥ 2%, the trade closes automatically.
• If it's < 2%, the trade remains open.
