Re: Optimal trailing stop percentage

Hi al, welcome to the forums! A good way to look at a trailing stop is the ATR (average true range) of the last 10 bars. This will give you a good idea of the current market volatility for whatever market you're currently trading, and you can adjust your stop accordingly.
