I love locking profits. My favorite trailing stop on profit is 25 pips. This means that if my current entry gains 25 pips it will start trailing and the stop loss will not move unless the price keeps going in the right directions. There is another type of trailing that it will move the stop loss even if price is going against me, this one I don't like.

I will not trade without a stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing-stop in place. Ideally, my take-profit will be triggered, but I am just as happy if my trailing-stop manages to lock-in a profit. My trading history clearly shows that my trailing-stop is hit far more than my take-profit, but I am still very profitable. My stop-loss? For emergency situations only!

Trailing stops are good, when you can't watch your trade. and are good for trading a news event. another type of stop loss that we use a lot is a time stop... Get yourself a cheap kitchen timer. when the bell goes off. time to exit. Keeps you from over trading and gets you out of a stagnant trade.
