We (as in the brokerage I work for ) offer them. We use Realtick software
and it allows one to use trailing stops. If you have more questions please
e-mail me off line.

David,
You mentioned: "Not too many platforms offer this feature and I dont know
of any that hold it overnight."
Do you know any platforms that do offer a trailing stop? I'm looking for
exactly this and have not found any yet, but I have not checked out many
platforms. I use Schwab Streetsmart Pro now, thinking of going to
Cybertrader or Brown and Co. or if I find one with a trailing stop (ideally
overnight) I would move to it.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

A trailing stop is like a ratchet. Foe instance if you set a $1.00
trailing stop every time the stock goes up $.01 the stop will move up $.01
as well. Not too many platforms offer this feature and I dont know of any
that hold it overnight.
Hope this helps,
David Taggart

Please explain "trailing stop". How is that different than the stop
loss that I'm familiar with? Thanks....

Rolf,
I asked a similar question a couple of months ago.
Tom Worely posted a reply, but I regret I can't find
his actual message -however I did print a hard copy.
On 3/20/03 Tom wrote:
...the normal procedure I use is to leave the stop
loss unchanged (from the 8% stop placed after
purchase) until I am up at least 15%. At that point,
I raise my limit to my original entry point (or
aveerage price if multiple purchases). After that, I
try to us a trailing stop 15% below the prior day
(sometimes the closing price, sometimes the intraday
high, depends on the chart, stock, fundies, how badly
I want to take profits, etc.) Of course, once raised,
the stop loss should NEVER be lowered.
Also found this message from Tom written on 4/21/03:
"I think any stop loss price should be selected after
studying the chart, and considering your entry point.
When I use hard stops, I like to put them just under
where I see support, figuring if it goes thru short
term support then it could go down a lot further.
When I really don't want to be stopped out, and
especially when I already have a nice profit, I tend
to use looser stops."
