    I have a beginner question here...

    Do some platforms have automatic trailing stop losses available as an option? Any stop limits I enter on Webtrader have to be done manually... I wonder if on other platforms this is an automatic feature? I assume it is I just don't know where I would find it...

    ie buy stock at $10, put in an auto trailing stop loss, it goes to $15 before dropping to $13 and I get stopped out at $14 automatically.

    Does this feature exist in equites? forex? futures?

    Every direct access broker have trailing stops. If your broker don't have it I'd suggest leaving him immdieatly
