🔹 Intro / Overview
Managing a position after entry is just as important as identifying the entry itself.
Here, we are specifically discussing trailing stops using Fibonacci retracements.
A well-structured trailing stop helps traders:
✅ Lock in profits
🛡️ Reduce risk
📊 Stay objective in the face of market noise
This idea shows how trailing stops can be applied in a structured way to complement Fibonacci retracements and trend management.
📖 Concept
📍 A trailing stop is a dynamic stop-loss that adjusts as price moves in your favor.
🔄 Instead of staying fixed, it “trails” price at a chosen distance — capturing more upside while capping downside.
🧩 Traders often trail stops using swing lows/highs, moving averages, or volatility measures like ATR.
📊 Chart Explanation (Step-by-Step)
1️⃣ Entry Criteria
✅ Successive closes above 78.6% confirm the long entry.
2️⃣ Stop Loss (SL)
📉 Placed at the previous swing low for structure-based protection.
⏩ SL adjustments move forward only with trailing rules — never backward.
3️⃣ Trailing Levels
👉 SL always trails two levels below the current trail level if the candle closes above it.
📈 Trail 1: 123.60% → SL moves to 78.60%
📈 Trail 2: 150.00% → SL moves to 100.00%
📈 Trail 3: 178.60% → SL moves to 123.60%
📈 Trail 4: 200.00% → SL moves to 150.00%
📈 Trail 5: 223.60% → SL moves to 178.60%
📈 Trail 6: 250.00% → SL moves to 200.00%
📈 Trail 7: 278.60% → SL moves to 223.60%
📈 Trail 8: 300.00% → SL moves to 250.00%
4️⃣ Target Points
🎯 At Target 1, book one lot to secure profits.
📊 Remaining positions can be trailed further with the next levels.
5️⃣ Projected Path
🔍 Dotted blue/red projections illustrate potential movement under this trailing system.
🔍 Observations
📌 Objective Entry: Requires successive closes above 78.6%, reducing false signals.
🎯 Partial Profit Booking: Taking one lot off at Target 1 ensures realized gains.
🔄 Two-Level Trailing: Locks in profits while leaving room for trend continuation.
📊 Rule-Based Framework: Clear Fibonacci-based progression keeps decisions mechanical and consistent.
✨ Why It Matters
✔ Prevents turning winning trades into losers.
✔ Builds confidence by removing emotions from exit decisions.
✔ Lets profits run while maintaining protection.
✅ Conclusion
Trailing stops are not about perfection — they’re about discipline.
By systematically adjusting stops as the market moves, traders:
🛡️ Protect capital
🚀 Let profits run
🤝 Remove emotions from decision-making
When combined with Fibonacci retracements, trailing stops provide a structured framework to manage trades effectively after entry.

Anmerkung
Update (22 Aug): After price reached the 200% Fibonacci extension, the trend shifted to bearish on closing below the 150% level. This highlights how the Fibonacci levels have worked so far for projection and trailing-stop purposes.
We now wait for a proper bearish confirmation before applying bearish Fibonacci zones.
