If you can't watch the market all the time, your only
option is to use stop orders.  Even then a stock can
gap down below your stop. If you use mental stops, you
should act like if it was a hard stop; look if you
would have filled if you used a hard stop and then
exit it if you would have.  You should only use mental
stops not to "tip your hand".  If you do not have the
disipline to strictly follow your mental stops and to
adopt a wait and see approach each time your stop is
reached, you are really better off using hard stops.

This is all things you should decided on before you
enter a position, so that you would know what to do
the moment it happen and not wonder what you should do
when it happen. Trading without a plan is dangerous.
