Trailing stop orders

[vindikation]

Do any of you use trailing stop orders in your trading?

I recently started using a 2% trailing stop order on my swing trades and it seems to be working out pretty well for me. One thing that noticed with trading stocks, is that much like poker, you need to find a "style" that fits your own personality. Quite an interesting journey. Again I'm a noob swing trader so any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

NOTE: I only use trailing stops on swing trades, my longterm investments have no stop orders.
