Bakit Kailangang Gumamit ng Trailing Stop-Loss at Paano ang Computation Nito?

“Bakit importante ang may TRAILING STOP-LOSS when actively trading?”

Ipinost ko ito sa Facebook Group ko na “Invest in the Philippine Stock Market with Jaycee De Guzman.”

It turned out medyo marami rin pala ang hindi nakakaalam kung ano ang trailing stop-loss, lalo na kung paano i-compute ito.

So I really could not expect an exchange of ideas dun sa initial na post ko if hindi alam ng marami kung ano ang trailing stop-loss na ‘to.

A trailing stop-loss is your selling price.

It does 3 Ps.
– PRESERVES your capital
– PROTECTS your gains (if any)
– PREVENTS unbearable losses

Hindi ito naka-fix tulad ng isang plain stop-loss.

Dalawa lang ang pwedeng mangyari sa TSL.

It’s either mag-stay ito as is or mag-adjust ito upward.

Never itong mag-a-adjust downward.

Sa pag-compute ng TSL, need mong isaalang-alang ang risk tolerance percentage mo.

Note: Itong 8% risk tolerance na ‘to ay sample lang. May kanya-kanya tayo ng risk tolerance percentage. So kapag nag-compute kayo, gamitin ninyo yung logic at formula na sinasabi ko sa baba instead na gayahin ninyo rin yung 8% kahit hindi naman 8% ang risk tolerance ninyo.

If ang entry price mo kay Stock XYZ ay P100/share at 8% ang risk tolerance % mo, ganito ang pag-compute ng initial TSL:

Initial TSL = 100 – (100 x 0.08) = P92

Sa P92 ka magbebenta if imbes na mag-increase ang price ay bumababa pa ito pagka-entry na pagka-entry mo.

Now, if tumaas pa sa entry price ang market price ni Stock XYZ, ire-recompute mo ang TSL mo upward.

Let’s say naging 102 na per share si Stock XYZ.

Ganito ang formula naman AFTER ng initial TSL.

TSL = current price – (current price * your risk tolerance %)

So:

TSL = 102 – (102 * 0.08) = P93.84

See, nagupward adjustment ang TSL mo. From the initial P92, naging P93.84 na ito.

Upward adjustment lang, walang downward adjustment, kasi nga it PRESERVES your gains (if any).

Paano mo maipe-preserve ang gains mo if tinatapyasan mo pababa ang TSL mo, ‘di ba?

Dahil sa TSL, hindi ka magpapa-loss ng higit pa sa % of loss na kaya mo lang sikmurahin.

Nape-PREVENT ang hindi pag-respect sa risk tolerance mo.

Dahil sa TSL, naila-lock o naipe-PRESERVE ang gains mo, if meron man.

Dahil sa TSL, systematic ka. Hindi ka nagte-trade gamit ang “Bahala na si Batman” strategy. Hindi ka nagpapasunog ng capital ng walang data-driven na strategy. That’s why a TSL PROTECTS your capital.
