Trailing Stop Loss "follows" the price of a coin. For example:
- You buy 1 ETH for $100 and set Stop Loss of -10%, at $90;
- You check the "Trailing" box;
- We will not deal with the Price follow method in this case and leave it as default choice "Bid", but you can see the available choices here;
- ETH trades at around $100 for a while, but then begins to rise. In this case, the approximate action of Trailing Stop Loss will be as follows:
No.
ETH price per 1 unit
Trailing Stop Loss value
1.
$100
$90
2.
$102 (rise)
$91.80
3.
$105 (rise)
$94.50
4.
$101 (correction)
$94.50
5.
$105 (rise)
$94.50
6.
$108 (rise)
$97.20
7.
$112 (rise)
$100.80
8.
$108 (correction)
$100.80
For clarity on how TSL works, see this visual example: Thus, the higher the coin price deviates from the initial price, the higher the Trailing Stop Loss will rise. When the price falls, Trailing Stop Loss will not change.
