Take profit - indicator value

Use an indicator value as the target price directly.

1 min readUpdated Jun 19, 2026

Reads an indicator column's value at entry and uses it as the target price.

Shape

"take_profit": {
  "type": "indicator",
  "indicator": "bb_upper"
}

Params

  • indicator - column name for the target price.

Usage

  • Mean reversion: target = Bollinger middle or upper band.
  • Structure target: target = donchian_upper.

Pitfalls

  • Set at entry, not trailing. If the indicator moves after entry, the target stays where it was.
  • Target on the wrong side of price = engine rejection or fallback. Verify the indicator is in the expected direction at entry time.
