Trailing Stop

What does it Mean? A stop-loss order set at a percentage level below the market price - for a long position. The price is adjusted as the price fluctuates.
Investopedia Says... This is such a useful tool, yet many fail to use it. Using a trailing stop allows you to let profits run while cutting losses at the same time.
