✋ TRAILING STOP
➕ If you're in profit but don’t want to lose it, use a Trailing Stop-loss.
What is it?
🔓 A trailing stop is a dynamic stop-loss that automatically follows the price in a profitable direction. If the market turns, it locks in your gains.
How it works (example):
1️⃣ You buy at $100
2️⃣ You set a trailing stop of $10
3️⃣ Price rises to $115 → stop moves up to $105
4️⃣ Price falls to $105 → trade closes
5️⃣ Result: you lock in $5 profit — no manual action needed
Pros:
➕ Secures and multiplies your profits
➕ Removes emotions
➕ Great for trending markets
Cons:
➖ Can trigger too early in volatile conditions
➖ Less effective in sideways markets
Tips:
• Don’t set it too tight, give the trade some room
• Best used during the news, breakouts, or in strong trends
• Combine with trend or volatility indicators for better results
A trailing stop is like a smart bodyguard. It lets you ride the trend and pulls you out before it turns ugly.
