A Trailing Stop-Loss is not just a simple stop-loss order but rather a stop-loss in motion that enhances risk and trade management processes. If a stop-loss is placed below the order price, a trailing stop-loss moves in one direction only — it follows the moving market price up till the maximum level and protects profit while at the same time, prevents any losses in case the market reverses.
For example, with a long position in a particular stock, a trailing stop will be adjusted upward to correspond with the increases in the stock price. When the stock price has become too unfavourable for the investor (moving in the negative zone of the trailing amount), the buying position is closed out by executing the stop-loss order. In this manner, traders are able to take advantage of trending markets without monitoring the charts and changing their stop-loss every few minutes.
The process of placing a trailing stop-loss on Angel One’s platform is easy for all traders. It can be found within the Manage Position option, where traders can set and modify their orders with ease. To use this particular feature, follow these steps:
To begin with, it’s beneficial to secure more profits while having no turnover caps as such. As the market price increases, your trailing stop-loss moves, allowing you to remain in winning trades. It also reduces emotional trading bets due to the automation of the risk management structure. Lastly, it offers flexibility due to having control over the risk management parameters based on one’s trading style.
At Angel One, we seek to empower all those that seek to trade. The Trailing Stop-Loss feature is effective in this regard as it forms part of the advanced risk management tools that are coherent with our traders. We feel that this option will prove to be a great help to you in your trading experience and will assist you in making informed trades with much more confidence than you have ever had before.
Integrate this emerging feature to enhance your trading strategy. As usual, happy trading with Angel One!
