Use Price Locking to track a rising share price and protect you if the price begins to fall. For example, if the current price for XYZ plc is 650p to sell you could set a 20 pence stop loss to sell at 630 pence.  If the share price falls to 630p during the trading day, then your shares would be sold. If the shares rise and close at 660, your stop loss order would be increased from 630 to 640p maintaining your 20p tolerance.
