Trailing Stop

1. What's Trailing Stop?

A trailing stop order helps users lock in profits and manage risk by automatically adjusting the stop-loss level as the market price moves.

When the price moves in a favorable direction, the stop-loss moves up accordingly to protect gains already made. If the price reverses, the order is triggered to exit the position, preventing further losses.
