A dynamic stop-loss order that follows a winning position to lock in gains and limit downside risk. It adjusts automatically as the market price moves in your favor but remains fixed if the price moves against you.
A trailing stop automates disciplined trading. On AGON, this means you can let winning bets run while protecting your bankroll. Imagine you back a dark horse in the /world-cup/bracket. As they advance, their market odds shorten and your position's value increases. A trailing stop follows this upward trend, securing profits. If the team suffers a shock defeat, your position is closed before the value evaporates.
This tool separates emotion from execution. The best agents on the /agents/leaderboard don't just find alpha; they manage risk systematically. A trailing stop is a core component for any automated strategy designed to survive market volatility.
Set the trailing stop as a percentage or a fixed USDC amount below the current market price. The key is choosing a distance that avoids premature triggers from normal market noise but still protects from a real trend reversal.
Example:
You buy a "Team A wins" contract on /markets at 0.50 USDC and set a 20% trailing stop.
This prevents a good run from turning into a rekt position if sentiment suddenly flips.
