Quick answer

A take-profit strategy sells your position in planned slices instead of guessing one perfect top. Your realized profit is the blended average of each exit price, weighted by the amount sold at each tier. Enter your entry, coins and up to four sell tiers and this tool returns the blended exit, realized profit and remaining moon bag.

How this is calculated

Each tier sells a percent of your original position at its price: coins sold = qty × tier%, proceeds = coins × price, and profit = coins × (price − entry). The headline average exit is proceeds-weighted — total proceeds ÷ total coins sold — so a ladder that sells more early sits closer to its lower tiers, and one that sells more late sits closer to its higher ones.

Tiers that add past 100% are scaled down to fit what you actually hold; tiers that add to less than 100% leave the rest as an unsold moon bag, reported on its own line. The ladder is a plan, not a prediction: it guarantees the arithmetic of your chosen exits, never that the market will reach them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a take-profit ladder?
Selling a position in planned slices at rising prices instead of guessing one perfect exit — e.g. 25% at 1.5×, 25% at 2×, 25% at 3×, keeping 25% as a 'moon bag'. It trades the chance of a perfect top for a guaranteed decent average and locked-in profit on the way up.
How is the average exit price calculated?
It's weighted by proceeds, not by tier count: average exit = total dollars received ÷ total coins sold. Selling more coins at the lower tiers pulls the average down; selling more at the higher tiers pulls it up. The calculator shows the blended number for whatever ladder you enter.
What happens if my tiers add up to more than 100%?
You can't sell more than you hold, so the calculator scales every tier down proportionally to fit 100% and flags it. If your tiers add up to less than 100%, the remainder stays as an unsold 'moon bag' — shown as its own line.
Does this tell me where to set my sell targets?
No — the prices and slice sizes are your plan, based on your own analysis. The calculator only works out the exact proceeds, profit, blended exit and leftover position for the ladder you choose. It makes no prediction about whether any price will be reached.
