RE: Profit Stops

I have one system that uses a 10% profit stop that works well (depending on
volatility of stock).  I haven't had much luck with trailing stops due to my
short term trading nature.

Subject: Profit Stops


I wonder if people could comment on profit stops. It seems that I buy
stocks, the price increases, and then they fall down and I lose most of my
profits. Is it best to stick with a trailing stop or should a certain profit
% be used to take profits? What profit stop should be used?
