Not sure if this is a god thing and any critism welcome but on shares i use a 10% trailing stop loss but I am scared of the automatic trigger so I use the alert and manualy sell I try and stick to this as i have been burnt in the past I have found that 10% allows for some medium corrections and allows me to see the growth without getting in and out.

I like the KISS system "keep it simple as i am stupid"
