Hi @boomerang

Thank you for reaching out. 

There are two ways to add a trailing stop. 

1. You can insert a trailing stop when putting in a market order to deal at the current price. This can be done under "Deal" (or Trade in he mobile app) from the dealing ticket on the platform.

2. From open positions. 

If you click in the stop box, it gives you the option to select the drop down error where you can find the option to add a trailing stop. You will need to add the following for the trailing stop to be accepted:

  • Stop Level Price level at which current position will close if no trailing advantages occur
  • Stop Distance Number of points the stop level should be away from the current price when trailing advantages occur
  • Step Distance Number of points the underlying market will need to move before trailing advantages occur

    • The US debt ceiling deal has cleared the second and last hurdle, with the Senate passing the bill to raise the ceiling. President Biden can now sign it into law, staving off a US default. Stocks in Asia rallied, and futures are pointing higher in Europe and the US. Meanwhile, a much stronger-than-expected ADP private payrolls report led to a sharp rise in the probability of another rate hike being seen in June, despite the US ISM manufacturing  prices paid index coming in lower-than-expected which is supportive of a Fed pause. Softer Eurozone headline and core inflation have seen ECB tightening expectations drop. All eyes are now on today's US Non-Farm Payrolls and hourly earnings data, out at 1.30pm.
