FAQ
How wide should a trailing stop be?
Wider than the asset's daily noise or it will stop you on routine wiggles. For BTC many use 8-15%; tighter belongs to lower-volatility assets.
Trailing stop vs fixed target?
Trails let winners run and give back the last leg; targets bank exactly the plan and never more. Trend traders trail, range traders target.
