What is this?

Stop Loss is intended to reduce losses where the symbol price moves in an unprofitable direction. If the position becomes profitable, Stop Loss can be manually shifted to a break-even level.

To automate this process, Trailing Stop was created in the CFSA trading platform. This tool is especially useful when price changes strongly in the same direction or when it is impossible to watch the market continuously for some reason.

Trailing Stop is always attached to an open position and works in client terminal, not at the server like Stop Loss, for example. To set the trailing stop, one has to execute the open position context menu command of the same name in the Terminal window.

Then one has to select the desirable value of distance between the Stop Loss level and the current price in the list opened.

Only one trailing stop can be set for each open position.

After the above actions have been performed, at incoming of new quotes, the terminal checks whether the open position is profitable. As soon as profit in points becomes equal to or higher than the specified level, command to place the Stop Loss order will be given automatically.

The order level is set at the specified distance from the current price.

Further, if price changes in the more profitable direction, trailing stop will make the Stop Loss level follow the price automatically, if profitability of the position falls, the order will not be modified anymore.

Thus, the profit of the trade position is fixed automatically. After each automatic Stop Loss order modification, a record will be made in the terminal journal.
