Trailing Take Profit means adjusting your take profit level higher as the price moves in your favor, ensuring increased profit while securing part of the gains.

📌 Methods to Trail Take Profit:
1. Manual Method (Most Common)
Once the price reaches the first target, you adjust the take profit order and place it at a higher target or move it below a new peak.
Example:
You bought at $10, your first target is $12.
When the price reaches $12, you raise the take profit to $11.5$ or 12$ and set a new target of $13.

2. Using Trailing Stop
Some platforms (like Binance) allow you to set a Trailing Stop.
The idea: You set a certain percentage or amount, and as the price rises, the stop loss or take profit automatically moves the same distance.
Example:
You bought at $10, set the Trailing Stop to $1.
When the price reaches $12, the stop loss moves to $11.
If it reaches $14, the stop loss moves to $13... and so on.

3. Moving Based on Support and Resistance Levels
Using technical analysis: Whenever the price breaks a resistance and closes above it, you raise the take profit just below it.
This reduces the likelihood of an early exit due to minor fluctuations.

💡 Important Tips:
Do not raise the take profit too quickly, so you are not forced out of the market due to a natural correction.
It's better to leave a comfortable distance between the current price and the take profit to allow the price to breathe.
