Trailing Stop (App) – How to Use

Overview

To help traders manage risk more flexibly and lock in profits, YUBIT Futures supports the Trailing Stop feature. This allows you to automatically adjust your stop price as the market moves in your favor, helping you maximize gains and reduce losses during pullbacks.

How to Access

  1. Open the YUBIT App and go to the Futures trading page.

  2. In an open position, tap the Take Profit / Stop Loss button.

  3. Select the Trailing Stop tab to configure your settings.

Parameters Explained

  • Activation Price The price that triggers the trailing stop order.

    • If left blank, the order activates immediately after placement.

    • Once the activation price is reached, the system begins calculating the trailing stop price.

  • Callback Rate (Percentage) The percentage used to calculate the stop price relative to the highest (for longs) or lowest (for shorts) market price reached.

    • Example: If you set a 5% callback and the highest price reaches 50,000 USDT, the stop price will be 47,500 USDT.

  • Quantity The order size executed when the trailing stop is triggered. Currently, only full-position trailing stops are supported.

Activation Rules

Condition
Activation Logic

Activation Price = Current Market Price

Activates immediately

Activation Price > Current Market Price

Activates once market price ≥ activation price

Activation Price < Current Market Price

Activates once market price ≤ activation price

Example

  • You open a long position.

  • Set Activation Price = 1,000 USDT and Callback Rate = 5%.

  • Once the market rises to 1,000 USDT, the trailing stop activates.

  • If the price climbs to 1,100 USDT, the stop price adjusts upward to 1,050 USDT.

  • When the price drops back to 1,050 USDT, the stop triggers and closes your position automatically.

Notes

  • Once set, the system continuously monitors market prices and adjusts the stop price in real time.

  • If you manually close or adjust the position before activation, the trailing stop will be canceled.

  • The feature uses a market order trigger. In highly volatile conditions, actual execution may differ from the expected stop price.

  • Please set parameters carefully to manage risk appropriately.
