This is my stock system: Trailing stop-loss orders as follows:if stock is=

under $30, stop-loss at 80%, If between $30-$80, S/L at 15%, if over $80,=

S/L at 12%. Obviously this approach doesn't prevent a "whipsaw", but I'm
willing to risk that.(There is no perfect world of investing.)

Conversely,  if stock goes up 20%, 15%, 12% respectively, I buy 60% more
shares, each time it rises that percentage. Of course I raise the
stop-loss immediately.

Comments (or other approaches) would be appreciated.
