My job is to watch my positions full time, so I rarely use stop losses, much to my detriment.
I did recently set a stop loss on one of my stocks I didn't want to lose my profit on. For that I used a dollar amount slightly under the support level for the equity.
Who's that casting devious stares in my direction?
