Concept of Trailing Stop Loss
A trailing stop loss is a dynamic stop loss order that automatically adjusts based on the price movement of an underlying asset. It is designed to protect profits and limit losses while allowing for potential gains.
Mechanism:
A trailing stop loss is set as a percentage or fixed amount below (for long positions) or above (for short positions) the current market price.
As the asset price moves in a favorable direction, the stop loss level also moves, maintaining a specified distance from the market price.
If the asset price reverses and falls below (for long positions) or rises above (for short positions) the stop loss level, the position is automatically closed to minimize losses.
