Top Trailing Stop Techniques For Maximum Profits

[Netpicks]

So what do you think? Are trailing stops something you use in your trading or considering to add them? What would use to trail?

[stevrgrs]

Trailing stops are awesome. Especially when you can tier them. Just make sure you know what you are basing your stop loss on! There are so many varients :)

I use the 20 period moving average. It may not be the best but, to your point, it's easy for me and I understand it so I'm consistent with it.
I've always been interested in using the ATR but always get confused or just don't know what the multiplier should be (atr x 1, atr x2 etc.).
Great video, thank you.

I use TS in my forex trading. I remember this one trade I did with the Q’s I got out to soon; oh I made a profit of $800, but had I had a TS I could have captured $3, 000. Not complaining of course, just sharing my trade for this video.

Although trailing stop loss is one of the automated tools in the arsenal, somehow I can't find much about it.
In fact, this video is the most information I have got so far.
I get that tight SL are hunted.
I only go into a trade if I feel there's going to movement in the direction I'm looking for. So, I don't mind a loose SL.
But i'll explain the problem I'm facing with loose trailing SL. And I hope you have a solution.
For eg, I buy a stock at 100 and put a trailing SL at 93.
1) Now, the stock goes upto 105, so my trailing SL is at 98. If it keeps falling and hits 98, I end up with a loss.
2) Or, if the stock even goes the 109 and then falls, it hits my trailing SL at 102. Which, while a profit, is meager.

Im finding that i can reset my trailing stop and confirm the change but i cant set it so i can watch the stock and follow the stock up or down with my stop on the chart ive seen it done many times but i dont know how to set it. Id like to see you filling out the brackets in various scenarions for going both long and short for TP, SL, TSL, OCO etc. There is NOTHING out here, no visual and no visible step by step video to watch the brackets being filled out and set BEFORE the trade is placed. I dont want to deal with that after ive placed a trade. Will you be the only ones who have a detailed video on risk management?

Literally did the knee-jerk thing when starting out, thank you for this video :)

In your example of using a 25% ATR TSL, I use a 90% ATR TSL because I'm working with a daily chart with 2 trades. One to lock in the profit target and the other to run free. Both positions have the TSL set which ensures only green figures if your entry strategy is solid.

Thanks for the lesson very informative. But with the Costco example, it appears you would get very similar gains with a simple GTC 10% training stop.

i only set trail stop when i see numbers i am happy to sell but i am scared that i sell too early. am i right? so i example i was suppose to sell at $1. instead i set a stop loss at $0.95 then i set a 5% trial . so every time the stock moves up 5% my new stop loss will set up 5% so become $0.9975??
