How To Set a Trailing Stop Loss

in #trailing6 years ago

Wouldn't it be great to be able to set a stop loss that follows the price upwards and protect your trading profits?

A Trailing Stop Loss order will follow the price upwards and then sell immediately when the stop loss condition is triggered.

For example, one buys a coin/token for 100 with a stop loss at 10%. Say the price move fast upwards to 110 when and then drops fast down to 90. This will trigger your stop loss order and one will have a loss of 10%.

But if it was a trailing stop loss order instead with a stop loss at 10%. Then after the price hits 110 it will be triggered as soon as the price goes down 10% from the highest price of 110, selling automatically at 99.

Loss = 1% with a trailing stop loss
Loss = 10% with a normal stop loss

Its amazing for the serious coin trader and still no exchanges as I know of offer it.
