Take Profit (TP)
TP is the short label commonly shown beside the price at which a platform should close a trade in profit. It refers to the same instruction as take profit or T/P, but the platform view makes its practical use clearer. A trader may attach the TP when opening the position or add it later. Some platforms also allow part of the position to be closed at one target while the rest remains open. The level should not be confused with the profit shown on screen, since that amount continues changing until the order is filled. A price touching the level does not always guarantee an identical execution price in a fast market.
Takeover
Company A may offer to buy enough shares in Company B to gain control of it. This is called a takeover. The buyer may pay cash, offer its own shares, or use a combination of both. A friendly takeover has the support of the target company’s board. A hostile takeover goes ahead without that support, often through an offer made directly to shareholders. Buyers commonly offer more than the current share price to encourage investors to sell. The announcement can move both companies’ shares, but the deal may still fail because of shareholder opposition, financing problems, or regulatory review.
Tank
When traders say that a price “tanked,” they mean it fell quickly and by a noticeable amount. A stock that drops from $80 to $62 after an earnings warning may be described as tanking. The word is informal and has no fixed percentage attached to it. One reporter may use it for a 5% fall, while another reserves it for a much larger collapse. It usually describes the speed and force of a decline rather than its cause. “Tank” can refer to a share, currency, commodity, index, or even market confidence. It should not be mistaken for a technical chart pattern or official market classification.
Tankan Survey
The Tankan is the Bank of Japan’s quarterly survey of businesses across Japan. Companies are asked about current conditions, future expectations, sales, investment, employment, prices, and access to finance. One widely reported result is the business-conditions diffusion index. It subtracts the percentage of companies describing conditions as unfavourable from the percentage describing them as favourable. A reading of +15 therefore means positive answers exceed negative ones by 15 percentage points. It does not mean the economy grew by 15%. Large manufacturers receive strong attention, but the survey also covers smaller firms and non-manufacturing industries.
Tanzania Shilling (TZS)
The Tanzanian shilling is the legal currency used in mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. Its international code is TZS, and one shilling is divided into 100 cents. The Bank of Tanzania has the sole right to issue the country’s banknotes and coins. In everyday use, amounts commonly run into thousands of shillings, while cents are rarely important for normal cash payments. TZS is useful in international documents because several East African countries use currencies called shillings. The code separates the Tanzanian shilling from the Ugandan, Kenyan, and Somali versions without needing to rely on the local symbol alone.
Taper Tantrum
In 2013, US bond yields jumped after Federal Reserve officials suggested that the central bank might begin reducing its asset purchases. Markets had become used to those purchases supporting liquidity and bond demand. The sudden change in expectations caused a sharp reaction known as the Taper Tantrum. “Taper” meant slowing the pace of new purchases, not immediately selling all the bonds already held. The event affected more than US Treasuries. Money moved out of some emerging markets, currencies weakened, and borrowing costs rose. The term is now also used for similar market reactions when investors fear that central-bank support will be withdrawn faster than expected.
