# Profit targets
The profit targets feature allows you to set specific profit objectives for your trading account, giving you greater control over your gains. By defining daily, weekly, or monthly profit targets, this feature ensures positions are automatically closed once your target is achieved. This approach helps lock in profits systematically and maintains a disciplined trading strategy aligned with your financial goals.
Daily profit target
## Settings
* **Profit Target in Percent:** This setting enables you to specify a profit target as a percentage of your account balance. When the target is reached, your positions will automatically close within the defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). For example, if your target is 1%, we recommend setting a slightly higher value (e.g., 1.1%) to account for fees and possible market fluctuations. Set to 0 to deactivate.
* **Relative Profit Target:** This option sets a profit target relative to the balance at the start of the selected period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When the difference between the current balance and the period’s starting balance reaches the target amount, all positions will automatically close. Set to 0 to deactivate. As with other targets, consider a slightly higher value to account for fees and market volatility.
* **Absolute Profit Target** allows you to set a fixed profit goal in your account’s currency (e.g., 100 USD). When this amount is reached within the selected period (daily, weekly, or monthly), all positions will automatically close. To account for fees and market fluctuations, it's recommended to set a slightly higher value (e.g., 105 instead of exactly 100). Set to 0 to deactivate.
* **Reset Time:** The reset time determines when the profit tracking period refreshes for your selected interval. For daily targets, the reset time marks the beginning of each new trading day; for weekly targets, it resets at the start of a new week, and for monthly targets, it resets at the beginning of a new month.
* **Autoreset:** Reset this target if the balance falls below the target. For example, after a withdrawal. To avoid rapid hit/reset flip-flopping, the auto-reset only re-arms the target once the balance drops clearly back below the target (a buffer of roughly 40% of the target profit), not exactly at the target line. This prevents the situation where fees, swap, or slippage leave the closed balance a fraction below the target (e.g. 4.9% after a 5% hit) and immediately re-trigger the target.
* **Pause instead of close**: If set to true, when the profit target is reached, the copier will pause and stop opening new positions instead of closing all existing positions. The open positions will remain active. If set to false, all positions will be closed when the target is reached.
* **Reset on balance change:** If set to false, balance changes (deposits and withdrawals) will NOT trigger a reset of this profit target. If set to true, any deposit or withdrawal will reset the profit target reference balance. This option allows you to maintain the profit target calculation even when adding or removing funds from the account.
* **Track by open date**: If enabled, trades are grouped by their open date. Each day's group is tracked independently across multiple days. The system sums the realized P\&L (from already-closed trades in the group) plus the unrealized P\&L (from still-open trades in the group). When a group's total hits the target, only that day's remaining open positions are closed - other day groups are unaffected. Example: 4 trades opened on March 4 with a target of $800. Trade 1 closes on March 4 (+$200), trade 2 closes on March 5 (+$300). On March 6 the last two trades reach +$300 unrealized together, making the group total $800 - those two are closed by the system. Only available for the daily profit target. Useful for prop firm consistency rules (e.g. Aqua Funded).
## Manual reset profit target
When the daily target is reached and all positions have been closed, a symbol will appear on your account. If you click it, you can reset the target and continue trading.
