Hello,

Max. loss stop limits losses (the loss is calculated from the trade entry price).

Trailing stop saves your profits (the loss or risk is calculated
from the highest equity value since trade enty).

The amount you can short the stock is limited by the current
account size.

Point = dollar in the simulator
