@stumbras
It's something that needs to be built on your methodology.
By having a decent sample of trades, you should find based on the MAE and MFE the right compromise to maximize profits.
You just can't start to trail your stop by 'x' ticks just because someone else with a methodology maybe opposite to yours is doing well.
Do some tests and maths will tell you whether it is worth it or not trailing your stop and if yes, by how much.

Hi Everybody,

I have a quick question:

Is anyone using a VPN on their desktop PC that they trade from?

I'm considering installing a VPN for more online security in general BUT I don't know if it will significantly, noticeably, slow down my transaction speeds as I am a short term, in and out day trader in futures markets.

The VPN's I'm looking at are NORD and Express VPN's. If anyone has personal experience with this and has tried it, can you kindly give me a heads up yeah or nay.

I'm using a good Falcon Trading PC, and I trade using Think or Swim Platform, trading foreign currencies and the Euro, sometime the grain markets as well.

Any feedback will be most appreciated!

Stay Healthy and Happy,

Mike
