I wish I could also say that this is a profitable strategy, but I have not tested it as such.
I traded a variation of this strategy, from April to September 2009.
Instead to canceling the other SL when one SL was hit, I used to modify it to 0.6% from the entry price. I was trading between 5 to 20 lots of Nifty everyday. I missed very few trading days between April & September.
The 5 lakhs that I put into my trading account became 9 lakhs by August 20. From Aug 20 to September end, I had continuous losses, with very small wins in between, and my capital went back to Rs 5 lakhs by September end.
I was trading using ICICI Direct, and I believe their charges are high. But I was least bothered when I was making profits. When my capital went back to the initial amount, I stopped the strategy.

Also u need to be strict with urself if u let 9 become 5 do not be complacent and feel it was never ur money.
