So the stop is a worst case scenario, the idea is to move the stop in your favour ASAP.
Two ideas in that one sentence.

If your stop is a 'worse case scenario', as many stops initially start out as, then it's just that - a get me out of here price. That's a possible trading rule.

Another possible trading rule is to trail the stop in some fashion - aggressively or not.

Two completely different topics in my opinion. Neither is superior to the other as it depends on you and your trading methodology.
