Trailing SL quantity Feature

Feature Request

Thank you for the trailing SL feature it is great.I wanted to request to give an option to modify the quantity of scrips I want to trail my SL for. Right now when I modify my SL it takes for all the shares actively in the.

For example:-

100 shares costing $1 is = $100 exposure

now 100 shares SL at $90 = $10 risk

Now if I want to risk 50 shares at $95 and 50 shares at $90= 7.5$

2.5$ lesser.

in this way suppose a stock works out after entry we would be able to risk more money and suppose if there is a wick out not all my shares would be sold I would still be in the trade giving some quantity of the share more breathing room.

    Hi Javed/Team

    This is important aspect for any trader. In equity I usually do pyramiding. Also in case of SIP mode in gold/silver ETFs as well, I have 30 different buy entries of small quantities, Out of which many combined entries may have different SL levels depending on the chart structures. But having this many entries will become a big mess.

    Also other metrix will also mess up due to this approach. Its very useful and I haven’t seen any journal giving this, so this could be your USP

    Hi @Parthib

    Thanks for sharing this!
    Splitting trailing stop loss by quantity is a smart idea for advanced risk management.
    It’s not on our immediate roadmap, but we will keep it in our list of future enhancements to explore once the core features are solid.

      In the meantime, a workaround could be to record the trade as two separate entrie,
      for example,
      50 shares with SL at $0.95
      50 shares with SL at $0.90.
      This will give you the same flexibility while we explore if a dedicated feature can be built.

      Hope this helps.
