Dynamic Price Triggering
Initiates when the price reaches a specified value, serving as the main trigger for activating trailing stops.
Smart Trading
Trailing Stop
The Trailing Stop functionality in B2TRADER is designed to protect profits by enabling the Stop Loss order to automatically adjust in response to favorable price movements.
Unlike a fixed Stop Loss, a Trailing Stop follows the market price at a set distance, locking in gains while allowing the trade to continue running as long as the market moves in the trader’s favor. This functionality enhances strategic flexibility and profitability management.
