I sell almost all my stocks using trailing stops (except OTC stocks as my broker won't allow trailing stops on OTC stocks). I look at the historical prices to see the volatility and decide the trail percentage. Many of the stocks that get triggered using the trail do continue going upward; but then that's something I couldn't have predicted. Most of my trails are 10% and 5% if the stock has seen a good rally. I will take advice from this article and try a trail of 25%. Thanks for the excellent article.
