Partial Closes

Partial Close Ladder for multiple take-profit targets

Plan partial closes across multiple take-profit targets with presets, R-based ladders, and realistic execution-cost modeling. See blended results and trade-state snapshots before placing a trade.

Built for traders who want structured exits, realistic assumptions, and clear decision-making.

Turn your exits into a structured take-profit ladder

Partial closes let you scale out by percentage at each take-profit level, so you can manage risk and lock in profit while keeping upside exposure.

Build a ladder of take-profit levels and close a defined percentage at each target.

See risk remaining, exposure remaining, and remaining upside after each target is hit.

View blended PnL and blended reward-to-risk for the entire plan, including execution costs.
