How is a blended exit price calculated on a laddered take-profit plan?

Add up the proceeds from every filled take-profit level (units sold at that level times its price) and divide by the total units sold across all levels. A level where you sold a larger percentage pulls the blended price toward its own level.

What happens to the part of the position I don't sell at a take-profit level?

It stays open as the runner. If you enter a current price, this tool marks the runner to that price and shows its unrealized profit or loss alongside the realized profit already locked in from the levels that filled.

Enter Your Position And Up To Three Sell Levels

Percent sold across all levels can't add up to more than 100. Leave a level blank to skip it.

How this is calculated

Each filled level sells position size times that level's percent. Realized profit at that level is units sold times the difference between that level's price and your entry price.
Blended exit price on the sold portion is total proceeds from every filled level divided by total units sold, not a simple average of the three prices, so a bigger sale at a level pulls the blend toward its own price.
The runner is whatever percent you did not sell. If you enter a current price, the runner's value and unrealized profit are marked to that price and added to your realized profit for a total.
This does not account for exchange fees, funding costs on a leveraged position, or slippage on the actual fills. It assumes every level fills completely at the price you entered.

Risk & liability disclaimer: This calculator does arithmetic on the entry, position size, and prices you type in. It cannot tell you where to actually set your take-profit levels, whether a level will fill, or what a coin will do next. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.
