      The animation made it very understandable. I liked her explaining various strategies, i.e. as you get closer to your ideal profit price, shorten the trading gap from $5 to $2, so you don't lose a lot of profits.

  • @Guilhem12806
    @Guilhem12806 Před 3 lety +8

    This covered everything I wanted to know. Spot on. As a visual learner, it was exactly what I needed. Thank you!!! Now the hardest part is figuring out that trigger delta percentage or dollar amount for each trade...

    • @walfordiii
      @walfordiii Před 3 lety

      Precisely. Say for instance you were to protect your gains of 100%+ what would be a good trigger Delta percentage for such a trade?

    • @timmoore6055
      @timmoore6055 Před 3 lety +1

      @@walfordiii Dome people will use what is called the Average True Range, or ATR; the most common is a 14 day ATR. If you poke around you can probably find the math to use to set up a spread sheet; but easier is to use a charting program; TC 200 or STock Charts both will have it (you may need to do some setup). even with that information, it is up to you to decide how much of that you wish to use. for example, the ATR may be $2.27, to pick a number. That would be fairly tight stop, as in the last 14 days the stock averaged that much move. Or you might want to do some multiple of the ATR; 2x or maybe 2.4x . One ETF I trade had some large down moves; after taking the ATR I fgound tht the largest down move in a day was 2.4x. Hope that helps.

  • @HuyNguyen-vn5rp
    @HuyNguyen-vn5rp Před 3 lety +3

    Thank you for making this video. It confirms my understanding of the trailing concept. Very helpful to see your graphic comparison side by side. Question:
    • Is there a an indicator you would recommend to help gauge the how far the temporary dips might go for say a 14 trading period?
    • Does price gap typically happens more so in penny stocks, as suppose to big cap S&P 500 or S&P100 stocks?
    • If the company decides to issue a stock split 4:1, thus the price is lower, would my stop change on its own automatically or would I have to cancel that trailing stop loss before the split, and make a replacement order?

    @ds94703 Před 3 lety

    EXCELLENT EXPLANATION! I've been using Trailing stops for some time. The trick is in how to set the right level for your risk profile. Also lots of other considerations. (eg, wash rules), and getting stopped out in a flash crash. Suggestion for future videos: 1) Estimating a Trailing Stop Loss based on High Medium or Low Risk, 2)How to you use Trailing Stops to Buy instead of sell. 3) how do you do that with a bracketed order. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, ARVABELLE!
