Slow and steady all day. Rode a trailing stop all the way up for a good gain

How far back did you keep your trailing stop?

@rrodriguez - I usually set a % Trail Stop Limit of 1-2%.

I initially set a 2% Trail (~$0.38), then tightened it up to 1% then 0.5% after 3pm to capture the run up to the close. In this case, it died off around 3:30pm so I stopped out then.

Good luck out there!
