Trailing Stop

A stop-loss that moves up as the trade profits, locking in gains.

Instead of a fixed stop, a trailing stop follows the price. As TSLA moves from $340 to $348, the stop trails from $336 to $344. If price reverses to $344, you exit with a profit instead of a loss. Our system uses tiered trailing: tighter trails as you approach the target.
