If you are a .Net programmer and also interested in foreign exchange investment, I will recommend you to try the cTrader!

cTrader is a popular trading platform used by traders around the world to access the foreign exchange (Forex) market and other financial markets. It was developed by Spotware Systems and offers a range of advanced features and tools for traders of all levels, including beginners and experienced professionals.

There are two important conditions you need to set before use this function:
1. You need to open and keep running the cTrader and this cBot
2. You need to set the take profit value when create this order

2.3. Setup the values

It’s support 3 take profit cases, and there are two input values in each case:
Take Profit x (1-3): How many profit should be take in this case. If you set the value with percentage (end with ‘%’) then will be base on percentage to calculate the take profit value, otherwise (no ‘%’ in the end) will take profit with this value directly (this is the volumes value)
when: The condition’s value for taking profit, if hit this condition’s value then will be process take profit

2.3.1. Take Profit Conditions

There are 3 conditions for set the auto take profit:
Percent of Total TP: It will take profit base on totale profit’s percentage. For example:
Take Profit 1 case:
1). Set the Take Profit 1 to 50%
2). Set the when value to 60
Result: When the profit increases to 60% of the target profit, it will auto take 50% profit

Price: It will take profit base on the price. For example:
Take Profit 2 case:
1. Set the Take Profit 2 to 2000 (no percentage so that’s the volumes value)
2. Set the when value to 1.12288
Result: When the price hit to 1.12288 then will auto take 2000 volumes profit

Pips: It will take profit base on the Pips value. For example:
Take Profit 3 case:
1. Set the Take Profit 3 to 100%
2. Set the when value to 100
Result: This is the 3 times to take profit, so we want to take all of the remain profit, so set the take profit value to 100%, if the profit pips hit 100, then will take all of the profit and close the order.

2.3.2. Break Even

You also can set the break even in this case. For example:
1. Set the Break Even + to 10
2. Set the when value to 50
3. Check the Pips checkbox
Result: If the profit increases to 50 pips, then set the stop loss value base on your entry price and plus more then 10 pips
