Bracket Order Examples

Combining a Profit Exit and Stop Loss Exit

• Buy: 100 shares Dell @ 25.00
• Profit Exit: 10% (2.5 pts) and will trigger the order if price reaches 27.50
• Loss Exit: 5% (1.25 pts) and will trigger the order if price drops to 23.75

Combining a Profit Exit and a Trailing Stop Exit

• Buy: 100 shares Dell @ 25.00
• Profit Exit: 10% (2.5 pts) and will trigger order if price reaches 27.50
• Trailing Stop Exit: 10% (2.5 pts) and will trigger order if price drops 2.5 points from any price below 27.50, or if the price only drops from 25.00, the exit would trigger at 22.50

Combining a Stop Loss Exit and a Trailing Stop Exit

• Buy: 100 shares Dell @ 25.00
• Loss Exit: 10% (2.5 pts) and will trigger order if price drops to 22.50
• Trailing Stop Exit:  5% (1.25 pts) and will trigger order if price drops 1.25 points from any price above 23.75 (22.50 + 1.25); Loss exit would kick in first if price were equal to or below 22.50

• Trailing Stop Exit: 5% (1.25 pts) and will trigger order if price drops 1.25 points from any price above 25.00 (23.75 + 1.25); Loss exit would kick in first if price were equal to or below 23.75 or profit exit would kick in if price reaches 27.50.
