# Min profit in account currency

**Set to 0:** The EA utilizes an internal algorithm to determine the optimal minimum profit level, factoring in:

* Market volatility
* Spread
* Account type (e.g., cent or standard)
* Selected risk level and trading style

If set to a number (e.g., `2.5`), the EA will **wait until the profit is at least 2.50 (account currency)** before it can close a trade.

📌 It works alongside features like [Take Profit](/smartchoise-manual/options/trade-management/take-profit-tp-in-points.md), [Trailing Stop Loss](/smartchoise-manual/options/trailing/trailing-stop-loss-in-points.md) to keep the trade open until profit can reach a desired level or trailing can be activated.

####  **Why Use It?**

* **Desire for consistent minimum returns:** Set a custom value (e.g., 4.5) to ensure each trade meets a specific profit target.
* **Preference for EA adaptability:** Set to 0 to allow the EA to adjust dynamically based on market conditions.
* **Avoidance of premature trade closures:** Opt for a slightly higher value (e.g., 2.0) to prevent closing trades for minimal gains.

#### **Tips & Warnings**

**Balance is key:** Choose a minimum profit value that aligns with your risk tolerance and trading objectives.

**Combine with other risk management tools:** Utilize features like [Stop Loss](/smartchoise-manual/options/trade-management/stop-loss-sl-in-points.md), [Trailing Stop](/smartchoise-manual/options/trailing/trailing-stop-loss-in-points.md), and [Maximum Drawdown](/smartchoise-manual/options/trade-management/max-drawdown-per-trade.md) limits to safeguard against significant losses.

**Regularly review and adjust:** Monitor the EA's performance and adjust the minimum profit setting as needed to adapt to changing market conditions.

* Setting it **too high** may cause the EA to **hold trades too long**, increasing drawdown risk.
* Setting it **too low** can lead to **quick but small closes**, especially in volatile conditions.
* Use this in combination with [**trading style**](/smartchoise-manual/options/risk-management/trading-style.md), [risk leve](/smartchoise-manual/options/risk-management/risk-level.md)l, and other exit filters for best results.

🧠 *Think of it as telling the EA: “Don’t bother me unless the profit is worth it.”*
