Welcome to the club! Breakouts are a high risk and high reward strategy - if
you're batting .500, that's pretty darn good. You should expect 40% success
at finding successful breakouts long-term.

I just have to get this off my chest for the new subscribers...WON's 7-8%
stop below the pivot is a technical stop. It is a rule of thumb based on
volatility in the handle region before a stock takes off. 

It is NOT A MONEY MANAGEMENT STOP!. If you put 7-8% of your trading capital
at risk on any one trade, you will eventually pay some really serious Wall
Street tuition on the path to becoming successful trader. 

WON's work has virtually nothing in the area of money management (what he
does say is just plain outdated...by 5 stocks with 100k...more appropriate
to an era of high commissions and lower volatility).

Tharp's books are the best (only?) work in this area and should be required
reading before you head out to the great casino that is Wall Street.
