This week I refined my trailing stop strategy, and it made a huge difference. I used to exit too early, leaving profits on the table. This time, after entering a trade based on a breakout, I moved my stop to breakeven once the price made a significant move in my favor. As it continued higher, I trailed the stop just below each higher low. Eventually, the trade reversed and hit my trailing stop — but I had locked in solid gains. This method reduced stress and helped me stay in the trade longer. The key is finding the balance between giving your trade room to breathe and protecting profits. Trailing stops are powerful when used with a structure-based approach. Don’t trail blindly — trail smart. Let your winners run, and cut your losers fast. That’s how you grow steadily.
