[GAMINGOOZE]

Can you still do a trailing stop?? I can’t seem to find the option on the app or website. 🙁

Waiting for this tool into the Investing account too!

[steveweb]

Very interesting, always a good tool, when stocks go the opposite of your trade like how gold has gone over the past couple of months 😳😢, will it ever fall 🤔

Any chance you can add a cross hair to the charts on the app! Very frustrating trying to identify a price! You can't

[issiewizzie]

ahhhh now I get it ... Thanks guys .
Back to demo land to practice :)

Is there an average percentage you use to create stops? Or do you just look at the previous market to see where resistance develops? Is there a safe initial stop, or do we do that math and consider the ATV? Raising stops is according to price increase. Not set and forget?

Can you use a stop-loss and trailing stop together?

[icarus_ap]

Howzit, can some please help me.
I have just tried your method on the Demo web app and I can't get stop loss near enough to the entry point. Ie if I buy at entry at £7400, TP at £7500 and want SL at £7300 it won't allow me as it says the distance has to meet a minimum amount working out to more at of a loss of £2000 and a TP at £7800. With this that means I'm risking a considerable amount and can't afford such a loss. Can you please clear this up for me. I appreciate your time

[jasonseekoei]

[Bluelimes]

Trailing stops seem to make normal stops look useless... can’t really see a downside to them

[Hazzador]
