InterTrader.com launch Trailing stops

Spread betting and CFD provider InterTrader.com has launched trailing stops on its online trading platform across all financial markets.  A trailing stop is a special type of order that allows traders to manage their risks without restricting profit potential.

For example, selecting a trailing stop on a long position when the market is moving favourably adjusts automatically as the trading position moves into profit. This automatic adjustment protects the position's gains right up to the point when the market turns the other way.

There is no charge for using a trailing stop, but stop-loss orders are not guaranteed and you may be subject to slippage in volatile market conditions. InterTrader does, however, offer a Guaranteed Stops service for a small premium on some markets that protects trading positions from any market gapping.

Trailing stops are part of the trading package offered to account holders that includes an array of useful and educational tools such as a Live Squawk to help traders stay in touch with market news headlines throughout the trading day, Technical Analysis and Trading Signals and Heatmaps that provide at-a-glance guides to the market hotspots.

Please note that spread betting and trading CFDs both carry a high level of risk and you can lose more than your initial deposit, so you should ensure spread betting and CFD trading meet your trading objectives and, if necessary, seek independent financial advice.
