What is a trailing stop loss?

A trailing stop loss automatically moves your stop-loss order along with market price shifts in your favor, locking in profits. For example, a 20-pip trailing stop will stay 20 pips behind the highest price reached. If the market reverses by 20 pips, the trade closes.
