DeployQuantTrailing Stop
A stop-loss that follows the position up: it sits a fixed percentage below the highest price reached and ratchets upward only, never down. Trailing stops let winners run while guaranteeing an exit a set distance from the peak. The width is the whole game — tight trails exit on noise, wide trails give back more at the end.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-10-02, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, no fees or slippage in the headline run; buy-and-hold puts 98% of the account in at the first open, as the templates do) and do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this page is investment advice. Live trading involves risk of loss.
