How to Set a Trailing Stop Loss?

A Trailing Stop Loss automatically adjusts as the market moves in your favor.

It helps lock in profits while still limiting potential losses.




🖥️ On MT4 / MT5 (Desktop)

To set a Trailing Stop:

  1. Open the Terminal (MT4) or Toolbox (MT5) window

  2. Go to the Trade tab

  3. Right-click on your open position

  4. Select “Trailing Stop”

  5. Choose the number of points (or click “Custom” to set your own value)

The stop level will automatically move as the market moves in your favor.




📌 Important Notes

  • Trailing Stop works only when your platform is open and connected

  • It does not function if MT4/MT5 is closed



*Trailing Stops help manage risk but do not eliminate market risk.
