Trailing Stop Loss
A Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) is a dynamic limit order mode designed to protect your profits by allowing a stop-loss level to automatically adjust as the asset's price moves in a favorable direction. It enables users to "lock in" gains while strictly limiting potential losses by maintaining a fixed percentage (Trailing Delta) below the asset's peak price.
How it works
Unlike a static Stop Loss, a Trailing Stop Loss is flexible:
Price Increases: As the market price rises, the trigger price moves up accordingly, maintaining the pre-defined percentage gap.
Price Decreases: If the price starts to drop, the trigger price remains frozen at its highest reached level. it does not move back down.
Execution: The order is automatically triggered and executed when the market price falls to touch the current Trailing Stop price.
Example Scenario
Consider a scenario where a user purchases a token at $100 and sets a Trailing Stop Loss with a 5% Trailing Delta.
As the market price climbs to $120, the stop-loss price automatically adjusts upward to $114, maintaining the fixed 5% gap below the peak.
If the token's price continues to rise, the stop-loss level will follow proportionally to lock in higher gains.
However, if the trend reverses and the price drops to $114 without reaching a new high, the stop-loss order is immediately triggered and executed, securing the user's profit and preventing further downside risk.
