Trailing Stop-Loss: A Game Changer for Angel One Traders

A Trailing Stop-Loss is not just a simple stop-loss order but rather a stop-loss in motion that enhances risk and trade management processes. If a stop-loss is placed below the order price, a trailing stop-loss moves in one direction only — it follows the moving market price up till the maximum level and protects profit while at the same time, prevents any losses in case the market reverses.

For example, with a long position in a particular stock, a trailing stop will be adjusted upward to correspond with the increases in the stock price. When the stock price has become too unfavourable for the investor (moving in the negative zone of the trailing amount), the buying position is closed out by executing the stop-loss order. In this manner, traders are able to take advantage of trending markets without monitoring the charts and changing their stop-loss every few minutes.

How to Use Trailing Stop-Loss on Angel One?

The process of placing a trailing stop-loss on Angel One’s platform is easy for all traders. It can be found within the Manage Position option, where traders can set and modify their orders with ease. To use this particular feature, follow these steps:

1. Access the Manage Position Feature: Navigate to the specific position you want to manage. You will see an option to set a trailing stop-loss.
2. Set Your Parameters: Enter the stop loss amount and define trail units. Then confirm and submit the trailing stop loss order. The trail unit is the key element here—it determines how much the stop-loss will adjust as the market price moves.
3. Monitor Your Position: Once set, your trailing stop-loss will automatically adjust based on market movements, allowing you to focus on other trading opportunities.

Why Choose Trailing Stop-Loss?

To begin with, it’s beneficial to secure more profits while having no turnover caps as such. As the market price increases, your trailing stop-loss moves, allowing you to remain in winning trades. It also reduces emotional trading bets due to the automation of the risk management structure. Lastly, it offers flexibility due to having control over the risk management parameters based on one’s trading style.
