Trailing stop orders
A trailing stop is an active stop loss that keeps a set distance away from the current market price and updates according to the market. This is best used in a moving market that is going in the direction the trader wants and the trader wishes to guarantee the profits made. You can place a trailing stop order on an existing trade through the "Open Positions” window, or on an I/D order through the "Orders” window. The trailing stop is entered by first entering a regular entry stop order, simply clicking on the trailing stop option and then selecting the number of pips the trailing stop should follow from either the market high or low.
