Dear David,

Thanks

Hey, awesome vids, …
Hey, awesome vids, these r so helpful. I was wondering with think or swim can i adjust the trailing stop myself. For example the stop might be set to trail by $10 as in your example, but once i see that the stock has gotten close 2 my target ($130 in your example) say $128 can i set my stop 2 now only trail by $1 to ensure better profits?

the example in the …
the example in the video he bought the stock for $100 and wanted a $10.00 trailing stop so he initally placed it at $90.00 if the stock moves upwards the the trailing stop price automatically ajusts upwards in your favor,if the stock is at $117 & the trailing stop is at $107 and then the stock moves to $107 then your sell order would have been executed. If you set your trailing stop to $10.00 your stock would have been sold at $10.00 if the stock ever reached $10.00 2:15 explains it best

These are great videos and have helped me a lot! I have a question RE: trailing stops: in the beginning, the example shows an order for stock at 100, with $90 T.S. Does this mean my stock with trail the mkt price BY the $90? Or would I enter the number $10 instead. Thank you for your great modules!

That works, but as …
That works, but as a day trader, if my $100 stock goes to $120, I SELL. Plus volatile stocks will take out your stop most of the time then climb back up leaving you out of the profit and the stock. I just put in a stop loss at the time I buy and adjust that IF my thinking changes later. I find I make more money that way.
