Trend line trailing stop

I'd really like the ability to have a stop track a trendline / trail based on time rather than distance.

I generally use a trendline for my exits and to be able to 'fire and forget' would be great!

Hi ,

 

Welcome to the IG community!

 

Thanks for your feedback. We really enjoy such comments as it is these very ideas that we have acted on to help better improve many elements of out trading platform as well as the service we offer. 

 

The point you have made I can see the value in and so I will be sure to pass this on to the relevant team as this could be useful to many strategies!

 

You may be interested in the ProRealTime platform that we also offer, as this has many advanced trading tools, such as being able to set market orders according to a trendline that you may find use of. Below is a link that will tell you more about the platform and you can access this from the 'Tools' section in the IG platform.

I would also like to use trend lines as stop losses but as far as I am aware this is not possible on PRT as you suggest, unless you are trading intra day?

 

I was informed by one of your staff that oblique parallel trend line Limit Orders were only good while you are logged onto the charts and as soon as you log off all orders of this type are cancelled.

 

TimP could you clarify these orders for us please, because like most people I take trades lasting at least a few days and this is something I would absolutely love to use.

 

Thank you

Hi 

 

The oblique orders are refered also as Pending soft orders in the platform and are stored on the wokstation only. With that in mind closing the platform will remove these orders.

 

I would very much agree with you about being able to have these active for longer periods and so the only way I could think that would be done would be if the trades would be saved on ProRealTimes order server, for which I will contact them to find out if this is something that is firstly possible and secondly if they have any plans in the future for it.

 

I hope that helps!

    • Every now and then, a project comes along that gets both traders and developers talking. Movement ($MOVE) is one of those rare cases, and for good reason. In a sea of Layer 2 solutions, $MOVE is taking a completely different approach by combining MoveVM with Ethereum’s EVM bringing the best of both worlds into one ecosystem.   Let’s break it down: $MOVE isn’t just about speed (though it delivers a staggering 145K TPS) or low gas fees (which it has nailed). It’s about the bigger picture—making blockchain scalable, secure, and developer-friendly without breaking the user experience. The Move programming language brings unparalleled security with formal verification, and the fact that Solidity devs can seamlessly migrate to this ecosystem makes it even more powerful.   But what’s really interesting is the market’s reaction. $MOVE launched just recently and is already trading at $0.7552, with a 151% surge in value since listing. The trading volume is climbing fast, and it’s clear that both retail and institutional players are paying attention. This isn’t just a short-term pump; it’s a project with real fundamentals driving its momentum.   What’s also worth noting is how $MOVE is positioning itself within the broader MoveVM ecosystem. With projects like $SUI and $APT showing strong performance, it’s clear that this tech is gaining traction across the board. $MOVE is carving out its space as a leader in the next phase of Layer 2 development.   If you’re keeping tabs on $MOVE, you’ve probably seen the BingX 40,000 $MOVE prize pool eventmaking the rounds. While events like these are great for getting people involved, the real story here is the innovation behind the token. It’s one of those projects where the hype feels justified, and the early momentum is backed by serious technology and vision.   For anyone watching the blockchain space closely, $MOVE isn’t just another listing, it’s a step forward. The question isn’t whether $MOVE will make an impact; it’s how far it can go.
    • Crypto volatility could either make or break you they say, I used to feel this is just a saying but recently I understood what it means. I spend time reading the chart but once I decide to enter the market then red but if I decide to delay entry then I regret it. That eagerness to make your first positive trade won't give me a chance to fully practice what I studied so I deviated from futures trading to staking on some platforms to earn APR or LST. BGBSol, BNSol to name a few but I mostly prefer BGBsol due to the high Apr but that didn't quench my hunger to make that first green trade. I am always told to have a strategy that works for me and a good risk management plan so I decided once my trade is in either +/- 10% then I am good but I am mostly hitting SL which is making my bad trade to outweigh my good trades. This is discouraging but I don't expect to get it easy for now as I am still trying to understand the market and how will I learn trading when I don't practice. I always believe in no pain no gain but I need to start seeing my efforts or I am doing something wrong? How do you start you journey in this industry?
