Previously, I used trailing stops in my trades. As I understand it, a trailing stop is a stop loss in the sense of profit, hence it should be said "stop gain" . This is to ensure that you will make a profit, no matter how tiny. If you understand how to define the market structure, determining where to position your trail stop should be simple. When I was still using trailing stops, I always placed them in the invalidity zone because I believe that if the price reaches my trailing stop, the trend will reverse.
