How To Secure Your Profits And Minimize Losses With Parabolic Trailing Stop Loss Posted By: Mikhail A.

A stop loss is an order that you place with your broker in order to sell a certain security once it reaches a certain price. Therefore, stop losses, or stop orders are designed to limit the investors losses. When it comes to trailing stops, there are more complex rules for automatically shifting the SL orders depending on the market conditions. The trailing SL behavior is chosen by the trader, accordingly to his specific trading style and strategy.

Many traders are trying to outsmart the market without setting a stop loss order. However, how many pips can you allow the market to move against you? 50, 100, 300? And how do you handle these situations when huge losses are incurred due to your stubbornness? These situations are definitely a torture for any Forex or Stock trader who has not learnt his lesson on placing a stop yet.

The only thing more powerful and useful for minimizing your losses in Forex than a stop order is a trailing stop order.

Hence, if the market moves against your opened position, the stop loss will remain on the position it trailed last, and exit the trade if the price action hits it. If for instance you are buying EUR/USD at 1.3100 with a stop loss at 1.3000, and the market price rises up by 100 pips, your stoploss may be shifted to breakeven. Then you will only be risking your profits, while an additional further movement upwards will guarantee you will exit the order in profit, as the trialing stop will rise along.
