The Unplanned Feature

A while ago I asked our programmer to add a feature where subscribers automatically get an e-mail if a trailing stop loss is triggered.

For some reason, he misunderstood me and programmed two trailing stop loss indicators.

One from the bottom and one from the top. At first, I was confused but then I realized this is a great feature you will find useful.

So, we added two trailing stop loss indicators to the screener.

 

Trailing Stop (Top)

The first one is called Trailing Stop (Top).

This allows you to enter a trailing stop loss percentage and a price or you can use the current market price.

As soon as this percentage, from the all-time high, is triggered you get an e-mail.

As with all alerts, you can also make a note as to why you set the alert and what you want to do. I forget all the time so I now always make notes.

Trailing Stop (Bottom)

The second one is called Trailing Stop (Bottom)

This one is the opposite of a trailing stop loss...

The Trailing Stop (Bottom) is triggered if the price has moved up a percentage that you have set. So that's a great indicator to use if you're looking for a stock that has turned around and started going up.

Again, add a reason why you set this alert so that when you receive an e-mail you know what you want to do.
