What the Trailing Stop tab is for

Trailing Stop stays inactive until profit reaches the activation threshold. After activation, ScreenerBot tracks the position’s peak and creates an exit when the live pool price falls far enough below it.

Reading the interface

Use each control with the rest of the automated trading pipeline in mind.

Two-stage rule

Both values are required to describe trailing behavior.

Activation Threshold

The position must first reach this profit percentage before trailing begins.

Trail Distance

After activation, this is the allowed percentage retreat from the highest tracked price.

Peak tracking

As price makes new highs, the protected exit level moves upward with it.

Using the preview

The tab visualizes how activation and distance interact.

Activation zone

Before the activation level, trailing stop does not create an exit.

Protected zone

After activation, the exit threshold follows the peak rather than the original entry.

Rule relationship

The trail distance must remain smaller than the activation percentage.

Recommended workflow

  1. 1

    Set the minimum profit that should activate trailing protection.

  2. 2

    Choose a trail distance that tolerates normal volatility without giving back too much gain.

  3. 3

    Review the preview and save the configuration card.

  4. 4

    Verify the position has live pricing and the exit monitor is running.

Practical guidance

  • A very tight trail can exit healthy volatile positions during ordinary pullbacks.
  • Trailing stop can trigger before a larger fixed take-profit target.
  • The tracked peak and exit decision use pool pricing, not candle closes.
