  "type": "fixed_pct",

Usage

Easy to reason about. Pairs naturally with a fixed-pct stop for strategies that don't need volatility adjustment.

Pitfalls

Same as the fixed-pct stop: doesn't adapt to volatility. A 5% target on calm bars is reachable; on noisy bars it can be too far or too close depending on regime.
