Profit Target Configuration

FlashEx supports three types of order placement modes: Limit Order, Market Order, and Planned Order. In all three modes, users can complete both the entry (open) and exit (close) configuration in a single setup process.


🟩 Limit Order Mode

Entry (Open Position): The system places a limit order using the current market price as the reference. The order remains pending until the market price matches the set price and the position is fully opened.

Exit (Take-Profit): Once the entry order is filled, the system calculates the take-profit price based on the actual filled price and the user's preset profit percentage, then automatically places a limit close order.

Details:

  • Long Position: After a successful long entry, the system sets a limit take-profit order at: Filled Price + (Filled Price × Target Profit %). Once the market price rises to the take-profit level, the order is executed, completing the full trade cycle.

  • Short Position: After a successful short entry, the system sets a limit take-profit order at: Filled Price - (Filled Price × Target Profit %). Once the market price falls to this level, the order is executed, and the trade is closed.


🟦 Market Order Mode

Entry (Open Position): The system instantly executes the order at the best available market price, enabling fast order fulfillment.

Exit (Take-Profit): After the market order is filled, the system calculates the take-profit target using the actual filled price and user-defined profit percentage, and places a limit close order automatically.

Details:

  • Long Position: After opening a long, the system sets a limit close order at: Filled Price + (Filled Price × Target Profit %). When the market reaches this level, the order is executed.

  • Short Position: After opening a short, the system sets a limit close order at: Filled Price - (Filled Price × Target Profit %). The position is closed when the market hits this price.


🟨 Planned Order Mode

🟢 For Long Positions:

  • Entry: The system calculates a buy-limit price at: Current Price - Entry Offset % (user-defined) and places the order when the market hits this level.

  • Exit: Once the entry is filled, the system places a limit sell order at: Filled Entry Price + (Filled Entry Price × Target Profit %) to close the trade when the target is reached.

🔴 For Short Positions:

  • Entry: The system calculates a sell-limit price at: Current Price + Entry Offset % (user-defined) and places the order when the market rises to this level.

  • Exit: After the short entry is filled, the system places a limit buy order at: Filled Entry Price - (Filled Entry Price × Target Profit %) to close the position when the market drops to the take-profit price.

📌 This mode is ideal for traders who:

  • Want precise entry and exit pricing

  • Can wait for favorable price conditions

  • Seek to automate the entire arbitrage cycle
