Trailing Stop

Order Types

Qué significa

A stop order that automatically moves up as the price moves in your favor, but never moves back down. It locks in profit while limiting loss.

Ejemplo

You buy at $100 with a $5 trailing stop. Price rises to $120, so your stop trails up to $115. If price reverses, you exit near $115 with about $15 of profit locked in.

Error común de principiantes

Beginners set the trailing distance too tight, getting shaken out by normal noise before the real move happens. A $1 trail on a $5-average-true-range stock is asking to be stopped.
