Then if it drops to $15, the trade happens.?. The trailing percentage is the same except I would do the sell 10% trailing stop and it would sell if there were ever a 10% drop, but that adjusts as long as the price continues to rise?

I'm trying to learn some of this on the fly and I've read about it but want to make sure I'm making the trades I want to make.
