Trailing Stops for Forex

[TRADERguy]

I'm interested in peoples experiences with different type of trailing stops when trading forex/currency futures. I am a scalper right now but as my size increases it will be beneficial to start trading longer term (intra-day), especially on trend days. I've looked at percentage retracement stops and parabolic SAR (only looking at the stop portion and not the reversing). Any others you could point out and any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

You might want to check out JonnyT's various FX systems (too many and too widely dispersed over the forums to enumerate) for discussions on optimum stoploss.

Bear in mind, this can only ever be a 'best current backfit' exercise.
