Re: Optimal trailing stop percentage

You can use stops based on technical analysis. If price moves in your favor and breaks a resistance level, move your stop below it, etc... Identify S&R levels, fib retracements, trendlines, channels, etc... and move your stop accordingly. I personally use target points and do not trail. Or I will move stops as price breaches a pivot.
