Market Structure Trailing Stop

The Market Structure Trailing Stop hands exit management to the market's own skeleton. Within the wider family of trailing methods, it is a structure-driven design: whenever a change of character (CHoCH) or, optionally, any break of structure (BOS) is detected from pivot-based swing points, the stop resets to the prior trend's high or low, then converges toward price at a pace you control. Structure labels can be drawn alongside, keeping the logic visible on the chart.

How to Trade the Market Structure Trailing Stop?

• Ride trends on structure: in uptrends the stop rises by the Increment Factor % of each new trailing-maximum extension; downtrends mirror the logic on trailing minimums.
• Secondary exits and S/R: if structure times your entries, the trailing level doubles as an exit trigger or a support/resistance reference.
• Cut premature stop-outs: lower the Increment Factor % so the stop converges more slowly and gives volatile pullbacks room to breathe.
• Read the labels: CHoCH lines are dashed and BOS lines dotted, so you always know which event reset the stop.

Market Structure Trailing Stop Settings

• Pivot Lookback: length used to detect the swing points the structure (and therefore the stop) is built from.
• Increment Factor %: convergence speed toward price; smaller values trail looser, larger values tighten faster.
• Reset Stop On: reset on CHoCH only, or on both CHoCH and BOS occurrences.
• Show Structure: toggles the market structure labels on the chart.
