Re: Stop Loss or Target Price?

If you can tell whether you are in a range/slow trend or strong trend you may want to use multiple tactics.

When slow use tight targets and keep stops wide until near target where you might snug them up very tight.

If running hard use no (or extremely optimistic) targets and trail you stop behind retracements until you find some reason to snug the stop tighter.
