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.
Change it with /setTakeProfitType. We do not publish results for trailing; if you are unsure, keep LIMIT.
