@Steve Fox the description never said "expert advise" I'm a rookie and I'm being a sponge to all the information out there. This video was helpful to me and probably many other people searching to learn. Thanks for the video!

This has been super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@1alexfeliciano]

great outlook about stops. Its all about fear that we put stops so close that we don't let breathe the stock. All this said. I just think we just have to trade smaller sizes to let the wiggle be much more wider. Thanks for the call.

[@georgefieldsjr.640]

trailing stop loss is unprecedented and useful for retail day trader. thanks javed khan islamabad.

[@filthysock]

That's a neat perspective. Thank you for sharing this.

[@eddyvideostar]

Sharekhan: This is a great video. Well done. This aspect would read everyone's mind as regarding the psychological use of the trailing stops. One must let his trades breath and not choke them with a small trailing stop. Even when a stock has a high potential of a long uptrend, one may get slightly nervous of giving back some of the gains for a higher rise; hence, placing his stop too tight, choking himself of further profit. On the other hand: Regarding intraday and scalping -- one obviously should have a narrower stop since he is vying for small frequent gains.

Very good analysis of the trailing stop. Thanks. The most important thing to retain when using T - Stops is that you must still keep an eye on your stock while the stop is in place.. I've also heard that if there's a big gap down your stop may not trigger as it was set to. Yikes!

[@MaryJane-ld2js]

very very helpful video. Its true that I'm always trying to sell at the top but in reality, that's not how it works because we do not actually know where the top is. Letting go of the fear or greed of losing that small percentage of profit in exchange for safety/security will help you protect gains. Gain is gain. Thank you professor! :)

[@aaronhargrove7460]

Excellent Video Can you please do a video on the difference in using a trailing stop order verses a trailing stop limit order? And also, because penny stocks are more volatile due to drastic price fluctuations, what's your opinion on using trailing stops for a day trade on a penny stock? Thanks

[@SHAREKHAN]

Hi! The stop order executes at market rates of the stop loss level is hit. So when stop loss is hit the trade exits at the best market price available, instantly. The limit order executes at a price determined by the trader while entering his stop order and not at the market price. So when stop loss is hit an order to exit at the limit price is sent to the exchange. Stop loss orders in penny stocks should use a limit because the stock can be illiquid and you do not want random execution of your trade at any rate. Monitor your orders closely if prices are fluctuating a lot in case you need to change the limit price. Do let us know if you need any further clarifications. Thank you!

[@JElayne9]

Thanks. Your information was very clear and informative. Do you incorporate Fib levels to predetermine your take profit levels. They help me to gauge just how close I can come before closing out my position. I play off of the 0 & 100% retracement fib level. Sometimes I wait for the 50 or 61.8% pull back also. Thanks again.

20EMA on 5 min candle can help you get good results on an intraday trade. If it closes below it you get out. Obviously nothing is best but this gives you a process which you can follow. Sometimes you will make good money, sometimes you will miss out on it.

I got in Square at $20. It is currently selling for 37.80. Originally I set a TS for 15% but have recently switched it to 7%. In your opinion, is that a good percentage considering it is up over 80% for me? It has exceeded my target but just keeps running. Thanks for any thoughts.

[@SHAREKHAN]

Hey Neil, thank you for reaching out to us. We'll surely help you with your query. Could you please tell, what exactly was the reason for your target setting? Also, do you use a percentage like you have mentioned as a line in the sand or more as a tool based on a particular strategy? Do let us know so that we may assist you further on this.

[@nickaclaus]

Do be honest, I basically wing it on my stops depending on many factors including the overall market, momentum of the stock, my target price etc. I basically set my EOY target price for Square at 40. Obviously, it has now hit that in mid November leaving even me a bit surprised. Leaving my 7% intact for the moment but just curious what your opinion was on both the stock as well as my current stop level. Thanks

When you initially buy your stock, using a regular stop and then ad the trailing stop later, does that cost a fee (like scottrade 7. each time you buy) as if you are buying a new trade to set up the later trailing stock?

[@maaifoediedelarey4335]

Well I'm watching this in 2018 (!) , and trading forex, not stocks, though I have to say, a really good explanation - in fact, that's a very good idea regarding using it as insurance against an overnight price retracement, I never thought of using a trailing stop for that, but it makes perfect sense, thank you. From what I understand, at least with the forex Metatrader software platform, is that a trailing stop (unlike a regular stop, which go to the server) is only active while your pc is on and the software is running - if there's a power failure etc, the trailing stop is cancelled. That concerns me, so if there's anyone that knows : Can you have a trailing stop, as well as a regular stop, both active at the same time, with one cancelling the other automatically if triggered ?

[@djellala]

hi sharekhan sk well each stock in the stock market behaves differently so having one way to do things makes it difficult to get a good profit. first if you wait many days may be you see some profit then the price can go to where you put your stop loss and hit it. so you end up giving all your profit which could many dollars of profit for each share you bought. then this idea of target price is a good idea in swing trading or investing because you will never know where the stock will end up. and what you said is just opposite of the addage of wall street let your profits run. i have bought some stocks which behave as i have planned with a stop loss that is not too far or too close. you will never know may be one day there is a sell off. automatically you will lose a lot of profit. the idea of target is better used for day trader because they must calculate their profit because they dont have time. they trade only through the day hours then they much exit all their positions before the market closes. hope that helps and thank you for sharing.

+blake sosnowski Oh yeah. It went from .002 to .0002. Either you were a scumball pumper or a naive newbie. Which was it?

[@garyjackson8196]

Why wouldn't you just set the trailing stop much wider so its rides over the peaks and troughs?

[@SHAREKHAN]

Hi Gary! When you set your trailing stop loss wider, you might end up giving back most of the gains back to the market if the scrip starts moving against you. Trailing stop loss should be smart enough to limit your losses when the scrip starts moving against you & at the same time keep you in the winning trade to the maximum extent possible. Do let us know in case you require any other assistance.

My broker is SureTrader. How do I add a trailing stop when I'm already in the trade? I always enter the trade with a trailing stop from the beginning, I wasn't aware I could add a trailing stop when I'm already in the trade. thank you in advance. Joihn

[@SHAREKHAN]

Hi Johan, in Trade Tiger, to add a trailing square off after creating a position for intra-day, right click on scrip in Net Position report & select “Trailing Stop Loss”. For delivery based buys go to DPSR Report, select the scrip & click on “Trailing Square Off” provided on top of the report.

[@boorayin2773]

You lost me when you started talking about targets. I, as a mostly uninformed investor, have no idea what a target would be beyond "higher than what I bought it at". I understand the concept of keeping a big enough cushion to stay in the stock while it fluctuates - the second scenario you outlined made no sense to me, though. Thanks for posting.

[@westplace2001]

BK Nelson for active traders such as myself , if we have a predetermined risk amount based on trailing stop, we may look to close it out at whatever multiple of that trailing stop we predict ( which we define as risk/reward). The goal is to stay in trades that are trending and hopefully be out closed out before the stock goes sideways or down. Generally active traders may hold a stock from a couple days to a couple months. As active traders we don't want to be in stocks that are going sideways. Investors can afford to do that because you hold time is way way longer

[@NishantGandhi7]

This is not very practical. Its very rarely nowadays that stocks move in a way as described in the video...

[@chmitoxd]

Nishant Gandhi lol, stocks ALWAYS move this way, in fact 50% of all stocks are in an uptrend right now...

[@Putseller100]

Nishant Gandhi The movement in the video happens more often than you think. Look at something big and stable or the indexes like the Dow or SP500. look at their 1 and 2 year charts and see thats almost exactly what is shown in the video

[@eddyvideostar]

This is a good lesson, though: Even when one wins -- he loses! This is another emotional unhinging situation that traders have to face. Your lesson is correct, but there are some solutions but one must put some initial elbow grease into this by: 1) Monitoring and occasionally adjusting or tightening the trailing stops, or; 2) Separating the number of shares (scaling out), or; 3) Going the IB route: with their adjustable stops system.
