Re: Stop Loss Stop Loss Trailing

As a general rule: you place a trailing stop when there's a runaway market such as fed news, etc. where there is little chance of pullbacks. In other market conditions, a normal stop loss order would be advised. Of course the trick on using trailing stop is how far a distant do you put? Another puzzle indeed.
