====== Trailing ======

**Trailing orders** automatically track the market's best **bid** or **offer** price.  
As the market moves **away** from the order, it is revised to maintain the same distance from the best bid or offer.  
If the market moves **back toward** the order, the order **will not** be revised.

**Note:**
  * Revisions occur **every 10 seconds**.
  * The order is revised to track the **largest movement** during that 10-second interval.

Trailing stops are especially useful when you are **not actively watching** the market.  
They help enforce a **loss limit** if the market goes against you, while allowing you to **capture profits** (or reduce losses) if the market moves in your favor and then reverses.
