Like stop orders, trailing stops can be entered as a sell to help protect the downside on a long position, or as a buy to help protect a short position against a loss on the upside. Unlike regular stop orders, trailing stops dynamically update with changes in the price so you avoid the hassle of canceling and replacing orders.

You can also place trades contingent upon an equity stock's price. By making an order contingent, the trade is placed only when the market price for the equity specified meets your criteria including trigger, greater than/less than, price, time and duration.

Even if you’re just beginning to explore these complex trading strategies, now is the best time to open an account and begin familiarizing yourself with our site features. You can even use our Virtual Trade platform to test your skills before investing actual dollars.

 

Having trouble setting a limit price for contingent orders and trailing stops? Try using a buffered limit.

With trailing stops and contingent orders, you must set your limit price at the time you place the order. A buffered limit allows you to set your order price a fixed amount from the prevailing market price at the time the order triggers.
