A trailing stop is a stop loss that follows price as a trade moves in your favor. It locks in profit while giving the trade room to keep running.

How it works

Say you buy and set a trailing stop of 10 pips. As price rises, the stop rises with it, always 10 pips behind. If price reverses by 10 pips, the trade closes, often still in profit. If price keeps climbing, the stop keeps trailing and your profit grows.

Why EAs love trailing stops

• They remove the emotion of deciding when to take profit.
• They protect gains automatically, even while you sleep.
• They let winners run instead of cutting them too early.

Some of our robots, like TurboBullion Pro EA, trail price so the trailing level itself becomes the exit. Learn more in our gold scalping strategy guide.
