Dont understand.

When do you exit?


If that was the case then you either take the loss from the stop ---whatever that is or your perminently in a trade which is trading above its stop?


Do you mean Trailing stop?

If so there is a danger in this.




Its human nature to protect initial capital and open profit.

The trailing stop and certainly the target price exit can be a two edged sword.While eliminating downside (Target) and minimising (Trailing stop) both can take you out of a trade like the one above. Leaving 100s of % without possibility of realisation.


Its not possible to let profits run employing risk management to the up side.
