Trailing Limit (KOBOS)

This intelligent order is defined for lowering investment risk and for locking in a profit using a flexible Stoploss order that reacts to changes in the market price of the title. The Stop Price is automatically shifted upwards (for a Trailing Limit sell order) using a pre-defined step from the best offer on the market. This shift is completely automatic and continues until a change in the price of the highest offer occurs or the best offer slightly declines with possible deviations until it reaches the Stop Price, which is redefined with the pre-defined step upon order placement.

A Trailing Limit sell order attempts to sell just below the local or daily maximum during a change in the trend; a Trailing Limit buy order attempts to purchase just above the local or daily minimum during a change in the trend. The floating Limit Price in the order also provides protection against soft trends or in the event the order is executed (e.g. the currently calculated Stop Price is achieved) due to a buy or sell order on the market where the Limit Price calculated from the entered deviation from the final updated Stop Price occurs.

A floating Limit Price provides protection against sales at prices that are too low, or purchases at prices that are too high in a soft market.

Trailing order

  • SPAD is the market used for defining Stop Prices.
  • The Stop Price is the price that defines the limit from which a client can start to sell or buy. When selling (a Trailing Limit sell order), the best buy quote (bid) in SPAD is considered in all cases. When buying (a Trailing Limit buy order), the best sell quote (offer) in SPAD is considered.
  • A Trailing Limit order must always have a defined purchased / sold quantity, the Trailing Stop parameter and a deviation from the Stop Price, the Trailing Limit parameter and the deviation from the Limit Price.
  • We recommend selecting the deviation from the Stop Price as twice the maximum spread in SPAD for the given security. If the Stop Price deviation is less than twice the maximum spread in SPAD for the given security, the validation system will warn of an increased risk that the order will be executed during smaller market fluctuations.
  • The Stop Price cannot be less than the maximum spread in SPAD for the given security. The maximum allowed ranges in the quote for the individual titles are defined by the exchange commission and are published at the PSE website .
  • When placing a Trailing Stop intelligent order , it is possible to also use other parameters in KOBOS, e.g. Minimum Quantity, Displayed Quantity, Trade Immediately or Cancel.

Example Trailing Limit sell order

An investor is concerned that the price of CZK 700 for shares of Erste Bank could cause a further sell off and decline in price and places a Trailing Limit sell order for 1,500 shares with a deviation from the Stop Price of CZK 15. The investor is concerned that remaining bids will be quickly purchased at this price level and his 1,500 shares are market price will have to be sold at much lower than this level and for this reason he enters a Limit Price deviation of CZK 5....More
