Does anyone have any guidelines how far away to set up trailing stops?

I tend to set them at the bottom of the previous bar in an uptrend. Most of the time I get stopped out. Most: 9 out of 10 trades... Any other method?

IDEA!!!! If you get stopped 9 out of 10 times, how about releasing your trade at that point and pick it up again at the level you would have placed your stop????

Valid idea... but how do you set your stop loss when you are in the money?

The same way you would if you weren't. At a point where you're comfortable.

if you still there i ll give you few ideas with trailing stops . there s 3bar trail stop or use swing highs in a down move or swing lows in a upward move or 30 pips as a set trail stop as the average movement in one direction on intraday time frame is 40 pips . i hope this will help

Thank you! Very helpful. I am assuming that the 3 bar trail stop works in all time frames? The swing high and swing low would somewhat make sense in higher time frames (30 min plus). The last one is intraday.... can you explain that one in further detail?

Much appreciated.
