What a Trailing Stop Loss Really Is
A Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) is not a take-profit order.
It does one job only:
Protect open profit while allowing price to continue higher.
Instead of guessing the top, Sabitrade:
Lets the market run
Tracks the highest price reached
Exits only when momentum actually breaks
Why Fixed Take Profits Fail in Meme Markets
Meme tokens:
Move fast
Overshoot levels
Reverse violently
Fixed targets force traders to:
Sell too early
Miss 2x–10x extensions
Re-enter emotionally
Trailing Stop Loss solves this by reacting, not predicting.
How Trailing Stop Loss Works in Sabitrade
Sabitrade’s trailing logic has three distinct phases:
Inactive (No trailing yet)
Activated (Tracking profit)
Triggered (Exit)
Each phase is intentional.
Phase 1: Inactive — No Premature Selling
Trailing does not start immediately after entry.
It only activates after price reaches a defined profit level.
You control:
Trailing Trigger (X multiple)
Example:
Entry price: $0.000010
Trailing trigger: 1.5x
Trailing remains OFF until price reaches:
$0.000015
Why this matters:
Early noise won’t stop you out
Small pullbacks don’t kill good trades
Phase 2: Activated — Profit Is Now Protected
Once price hits the trigger:
Trailing turns ON
The system records the highest price reached
A dynamic stop is calculated from that peak
You control:
Trailing Drop (%)
Example:
Trailing drop: 30%
If price peaks at:
$0.000020
The trailing stop is set at:
$0.000014
As price rises:
The stop moves up
It never moves down
Phase 3: Triggered — Momentum Is Gone
When price drops from its peak by the defined percentage:
Trailing stop is hit
Position is sold immediately at market
This means:
You exit after weakness appears
Not at random levels
Not because of fear

❌ Exit
Result
You didn’t sell at +20%
You didn’t guess the top
You exited after structure broke
You locked in ~74% profit
What Happens If Price Keeps Running?
Trailing never caps upside.
If price goes:
2x → stop rises
3x → stop rises
5x → stop rises
You stay in until the market tells you to leave.
What Happens If Price Reverses Immediately?
If price:
Hits trigger
Instantly dumps
Yes — you may give back some profit.
That is intentional.
Why?
Because selling on the first red candle destroys big winners.
Trailing Stop Loss is designed to:
Capture meaningful trends, not tiny spikes.
How This Prevents Emotional Mistakes
Without trailing:
Traders stare at charts
Panic sell
Re-buy higher
Miss real runs
With trailing:
No decision needed
No second guessing
No “what if”
The rule executes the same way every time.
