Any chance you can add a cross hair to the charts on the app! Very frustrating trying to identify a price! You can’t
How much does stock trading adverts pay on YouTube? They come up on every video
Is there an average percentage you use to create stops? Or do you just look at the previous market to see where resistance develops? Is there a safe initial stop, or do we do that math and consider the ATV? Raising stops is according to price increase. Not set and forget?
Hi there, your own technical analysis is normally used to figure out where it’s best to place stops, and you can place them wherever you see fit. This is because there’s no universal distance to place a stop at, and your vision may vary from another person’s. Also, yes, the trailing stop raises together with the price, keeping the same distance.
Very interesting, always a good tool , when stocks go the opposite of your trade like how gold has gone over the past couple of months 😳😢, will it ever fall 🤔
Thank you would like a video on using margin and when would a margin call be made?
Can you include in your teaching videos analysis of indian markets also.

Always a fan thanks for the information. Have a nice day. Sorry for my grammar and my english
After this video I now understand more about trailing stops. Splendid!
Ive really been looking into using trailing stops in my trading journey..Great video and great info..Thank you!
Sick handwriting
Lmao nice name g
Trailing stops seem to make normal stops look useless… can’t really see a downside to them
Great video – thanks
Really helpful video thanks!
Howzit , can some please help me.
I have just tried your method on the Demo web app and I can’t get stop loss near enough to the entry point. Ie if I buy at entry at £7400, TP at £7500 and want SL at £7300 it won’t allow me as it says the distance has to meet a minimum amount working out to more at of a loss of £2000 and a TP at £7800. With this that means I’m risking a considerable amount and can’t afford such a loss. Can you please clear this up for me. I appreciate your time
How would I calculate a 30% trailing stop on a position?
So you want to sell if the price drops 30%? Then take the current price and divide it by 100 to get 1%. Then multiply by 70.
Thank you brilliantly explained
is this available for stocks as well, dont see it on the practice view]
Same problem
Can you still do a trailing stop?? I can’t seem to find the option on the app or website. 🙁
The Fans Voice me too, can’t see it
Not available for Invest accounts at the moment, just CFD. They are planning to add in the future but support won’t say when.
Can you use a stop-loss and trailing stop together?
I have the same question

Back to demo land to practice 🙂
Waiting for this tool into the Investing account too!
