What Are the Benefits of Using a Trailing Stop-Loss?

Trailing stop-loss helps you lock in profits as the stock price rises and reduces losses if the price falls. It allows you to stay invested without constantly monitoring the market. It’s useful in volatile markets where prices can change quickly.

Can I Modify or Cancel a Trailing Stop-Loss Order?

Yes, you can modify or cancel your trailing stop-loss order anytime before it gets executed. Simply go to your order book in Angel One, find the trailing stop-loss order, and choose to modify the trailing amount or cancel it completely as per your strategy.

What Should I Keep in Mind While Using Trailing Stop-Loss?

Choose the trailing amount or percentage wisely. Too small a trail may trigger the stop-loss quickly with minor price drops, while too large a trail may not protect your profits well. Understand your risk tolerance and market conditions before setting trailing stop-loss.

How Does Trailing Stop-Loss Work During Market Movements?

If the stock price rises, the trailing stop-loss moves up by the set trail amount or percentage. If the price falls, the stop price remains fixed. When the price falls and hits the stop price, the order executes, helping you exit before further losses.
