# Placing a take profit limit order

Take Profit Limit orders allow traders to set profit targets and secure their gains by setting a price at which to close an open position. When the profit price is reached, the limit order is triggered. For a long position, traders place a take profit limit above the current market price, and for a short position, they place it below the current market price. If the index price reaches the take-profit point, the T/P order changes from 'Untriggered' to 'Open' and behaves like a traditional limit order. Short-term traders interested in managing their risk often use take-profit orders because they can exit a trade as soon as their planned profit target is achieved without risking a future downturn in the market.
