Trailing Stop

Have you upset because your Take Profit little more untouched, but the trigger price reverse direction to touch the Stop Loss?
When the position was profit / floating profit but still have not touched the level of take profit then there are two possibilities that you will experience.
First, you TakeProfit Profit untouched and the final result.
Second, you return to the position of floating loss because the price reverse direction. Worse yet, continue on StopLossnya untouched. Of course the result was loss.
With Trailing Stop feature, you will not worry anymore with it. Because Trailing Stop function to lock your profit.
How it works, trailing stop will make your stop losses continued to move up closer to the current price in pips certain distance when mounted on BUY position. As well as the trailing stop will make stoploss continue to move down when mounted on a Sell position.
So if installing trailing stoploss stop although it was touched, the result is still profit because stoplossnya has moved past the opening price of the position.
For example, you open Buy EUR / USD at 1.2500 price by TakeProfit at 1.2550. Then you put a trailing stop. So when you buy the position of being the profit, Stop Loss will automatically turn itself along with the rising price of EUR / USD.
So, for example, the price has reached 1.2548 (slightly longer touches take profit), but then back down again, then the price will be intercepted by Stop Loss that has been trailing. Stoploss touched so although the results still profit because the value stoplossnya already higher than the opening price Buy position.
At no stage Trailing Stop function can be selected pips trader to menentuk distance how many pips trailing stop functioning. At the Metatrader 4 Digit, minimal 15pips. While in Metatrader 5 Digit, at least equal to the spread.
How to Install Trailing Stops in Metatrader?
Here's an example of how to put a trailing stop in MetaTrader 4 digits.
Please right click order / position you are running. Then select the trailing stop, and define the distance pipsnya. Note the picture below:

In the picture above, net income / profit long position is 12 pips. So when profits had reached 15pips, trailing stop function will work, that is changing the Stop Loss at least equal to the price of the Open Position is 1.2131
Stop Loss will continue to rise, along with rising prices. Suppose profit has reached 20pips, then the stop loss will automatically rise from 1.2131 into 1.2136. So it went on. Until the price touches your TakeProfit.
If anything were apes (takeprofit untouched then the price back again), then the price will be intercepted by Stop Loss that has been trailing. So you do not need to worry, because even if you are touched Stop Loss Profit final results still.

In essence trailing stop is a way to change the automatic stop losses close to the price at this time so that when it touched sail trading stoploss still profit because the stoploss has passed through the opening price of the position.

That is the explanation of the trailing stop, please use the trailing stop to avoid a reversal that could cause harm.
