Limit or trailing take-profit — which should I use?
LIMIT closes the position at the signal's target; TRAILING only starts once price moves beyond the target and then follows it, so if price reaches the target but goes no further, a trailing position stays open.
- LIMIT (default): a reduce-only limit order at the target, placed right after the entry. When the target is reached, the position closes. The public record is scored this way.
- TRAILING: a trailing stop that activates beyond the target, follows price and closes on a pullback. It can capture more of a strong move, but a signal that only touches the target never activates it, and the position then stays open with no take-profit working.
With TRAILING, /setTrailingCallback sets how far the price may pull back from its best before the position closes: 1% (the default) closes soon after the price turns, up to 5% lets a strong move run further and gives back more when it turns.
Change the type with /setTakeProfitType. The performance page scores every signal at its own target, as LIMIT closes it; it does not score trailing. If you are unsure, keep LIMIT.
