Trailing Stops


Thanks Atrim for your hint

I am with IG now and they only seem to have trailing stops on Indices and Forex. I am trying to trade individual equities and have registered for the TS´s but it doesn´t show up on the individual equity trades.
I suppose I should ring them up and enquire but it seemed an interesting topic for my first post.
 
Probably largely irrelevant if you’re SBing, but if you’re going to use trailing stops, remember to loosen them on increasing volatility and tighten them on decreasing volatility.

Most do quite the opposite and on balance, get taken out right when they should be sitting tight, and sit tight right when they should be getting out.

Rather pointless response on a thread discussing trailing stops, but unless you can get that sort of flexibility from your SB or broker….
