I found something that works. I put a basic trailing stop based on the old 10 period 3 Average True Range behind my position. It only kicks in after I am a "bit" in profit so I don't get shaken from the trees by a wiggle. I then manage the trade by exiting parts of the position based on my trading plan but use the ATR as my drop dead stop.
10/3 ATR is good because it takes the volatility of the last 10 bars as its basis. Some people don't use anything but the ATR to manage the trade.
I fiddled with the numbers of the ATR but 10/3 (which is pretty standard stuff) seems to be the best for me. |

So if you put a Keltner Channel, which should be based on ATR, on your chart, with a setting of 10/3, this should show where your stop should be placed, correct?
