Trailing Stop-Loss
1. How Trailing Stop-Loss Works
A Trailing Stop-Loss is an upgraded version of a standard stop-loss. It automatically moves upward as the token price rises, locking in gains and reducing downside risk — perfect for catching momentum without getting rugged by pullbacks.
Example
You set:
Take Profit: +200%
Stop Loss: -40% Tutorial:

If the token pumps +190% and then dips:
Without Trailing Stop: Your position won’t sell until it drops all the way to -40%, turning profit into loss.
With Trailing Stop ON: The stop price automatically rises as the token climbs. When price hits +190%, your stop adjusts upward — locking your minimum gain around +74% instead of letting it fall into the red.
Formula:
Stop Price = Highest Price × (1 - Drawdown %)
So if the token peaks at +190% with a 40% drawdown:
Stop Price = 190% × (1 - 0.4) = +74%
That means your trade exits in profit — automatically. ⚔️
2. Key Notes When Using Trailing Stop-Loss
The stop price only moves upward — it never moves down. As long as price keeps climbing, your protection climbs with it.
There’s no activation threshold — the trailing function starts as soon as you open the order.
Trailing Stop-Loss does not affect your take-profit target. If both are enabled, the two levels move independently.
When both trailing take-profit and trailing stop are active, the system will close your position when price falls by the smaller of the two drawdown values.
