Trailing Stoploss-
A trailing is a modification of a typical stop order that can be set at a defined percentage or amount away from a security's current market price.
BTST/STBT-
Whenever you buy shares, you have to wait for them to be delivered into your demat account before you can sell them. It takes two trading sessions for delivery to come into your account. If the stock price moves up the very next day, you cannot sell it. This is possible if your broker offers you the Buy Today Sell Tomorrow (BTST) facility, where the investor can sell shares that he has purchased even before he receives the delivery of the same from the exchange, thereby giving him higher liquidity. Whereas Sell Today Buy Tomorrow (STBT) is a facility that allows customers to sell the shares in the cash segment (shares which are not in his demat account) and buy them the next day.
