An overview of Trailing Stop

1 min. readlast update: 12.07.2023

DESCRIPTION: Below you can find guidance to enable Trailing Stop.

POSSIBLE REASON: Stop Loss is used for minimizing losses if the security price moves in the wrong direction. Once a position becomes profitable, its Stop Loss can be manually moved to a break-even level. Trailing Stop automates this process. 

RESOLUTION STEPS: 

This tool is especially useful during a strong unidirectional price movement or when it is impossible to monitor the market continuously for some reason. Trailing Stop is always associated with an open position or a pending order. 

It is executed in the trading platform rather than on the server like Stop Loss. To set a Trailing Stop, select “Trailing Stop” in the context menu of a position or an order in the “Trading”.
