To answer your question,that would have been better in retrospect
Basically,it's like this.....Bar 1,Bar 2 higher lows than Bar1,Bar3 higher lows than Bar 2............Once Bar 3 overtakes the high of Bar 2,your new stop is the low of Bar 1.
Once Bar 4 overtakes the high of Bar 3,your new stop would be the low of Bar2.
So on so forth......therefore in that diagram,the stop is where the red arrow is.
Must it be always 2 bars,can't it be some other way of trailing........Sure you can.Do whatever it takes to keep yourself in the trade as long as possible and yet get you out at key points.....,at least most of the time.
This works for me,the simpleton........But there are "advanced" stuff out there that can be tried out as well.Probably with better results.Probably not.
Upto your comfort levels.Finally your call to take.
