I was using a 15% trailing stop, because I had been up so much.  Using that
stop, I was in until it hit 150% of the 50dMA, where I sold a 1/3 of the
holding to lock in profits.  This stock has steadily increased over the
last few months, so I wanted to give it room to digest some of the run up.
Today is when the 15% trailer got tagged.

Do you always have a 8% trailing stop loss, and if so, has it gotten you
bumped out of stocks that have some gains, then are consolidating?

In my opinion, 8% stop loss after you are up a fair amount is too
conservative, but if those are your rules, and you follow them, I applaude
you for sticking to your guns.

I would say sell it all.  How much have you lost by not selling all of
it at a 8% trailing stop from its peak?

Guess you have money to burn.

Hello all

I currently have a position in MVL, and am up nicely, currently 55%, and
at one point, was up 100%.  I sold some when it hit 150% of the 50dMA
per a WON "rule", and today sold another 1/4 of my position at a 15%
trailing loss.

For the remaining position, I am wondering if I should still hang on ,
or if the action over the last couple of weeks (higher volume, price
drops) are warning signs to exit out totally.  Earning are in a couple
of weeks, and rumor is that they will exceed expectations.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mike
