// TRADING TERMINOLOGY
What is Trailing Stop?
A type of stop loss order that moves automatically as the price of an asset moves in your favor.
In-Depth Explanation
A trailing stop allows you to "lock in" profits as the trade progresses while still giving the trade room to move. It only moves in one direction—it never moves back.
Practical Example
"You set a 50-pip trailing stop. As the price moves up 100 pips, your stop moves up 50 pips from your entry."
