What is a trailing stop and how does it work?

 

A trailing stop order is defined as an order aimed at selling a stock when it falls by a certain value. It is a risk management tool that helps you limit your losses when trading on the stock market.

 

Here's how trailing stop works: Let's say you buy a stock at ₹100 and set a trailing stop order at 10%. If the stock price falls to ₹90, the order is triggered, and your stock is sold.
