Hi all,

Please can anyone advise what inputs are required in the Min and Max fields for a Trailing Stop Loss Sell Order.

I know what a Trailing Stop Loss is , I just can’t figure out what needs to be imputed in the Min and Max fields of the Barclays Smart Investor platform. Is it:

Min - is it the Min trail stop £ from the current price? Max - is it the Max trail stop £ from the current price?

Eg.,

Current Stock Price = 100 p which is on a 20p profit from my purchase price. I now want to ride the profits but contain losses on the downside. 21 day ATR for the stock is 8P. I want to put a trail stop of say 16p. So what do I input in the Min and Max fields of the order form.

Many thanks in advance

The best place to ask is Barclays Smart Investors themselves. On the barclays website click on "contact us", followed by "Investments", log in, and click on "chat now" or call them - its a non premium number. I've used the chat option many times for help, the last time was to ask how long settlements took. When it comes to their own service they know what they are talking about, as they should.
