What is the best trailing stop points do you use to maximize profits?

[John Suka]

I find that trailing stop is great when keeping your profits. May I ask what is your best points you use to get the most out of your profits?

he best trailing stop-loss percentage to use is either 15% or 20% If you use a pure momentum strategy a stop loss strategy can help you to completely avoid market crashes, and even earn you a small profit while the market loses 50%

Mt4 has a buildtin feature when you right click on the order. It goes by points. Is it best to set it before you profit? If so, what would you recommend?

[Marco vd Heijden]

That build in one has your stops on the broker server.

You can also use one locally so that they can not see your stops.

And if you turn that into a dynamic stop then it moves both ways not only up but also down when spread widens, for example.

That way you will be protected against undesirable spikes in spread...

A problem of trailing stop is not exact when you backtest your strategy.
