# Placing a take profit market order

Take Profit Market orders allow traders to set profit targets and protect their positions by specifying a price at which to close an open position. A market order will be triggered when the profit price is reached, with a stop placed above the current market price for long positions and below for short positions. Once the index price hits the take-profit point, the T/P order changes from 'Untriggered' to 'Open' and behaves like a traditional market order. Short-term traders interested in risk management can benefit from take-profit orders since they can exit a trade as soon as their profit target is reached and avoid the risk of future market downturns.
