A Trailing Stop Buy order sets the initial stop price at a fixed percentage above the market price as defined by the Trailing Amount. As the market price trough, the sell stop price dips one-to-one with the market but always at the interval set initially by the trailing percentage amount. If the stock price rise, the stop price remains the same. When the stop price is hit, a market order is submitted. Reverse this for a Trailing Stop Sell order. This strategy may allow an investor to limit the maximum possible loss without limiting possible gain.
