The way I look at it is -- I sold some shares, and after taxes, commissions etc., I have some profits left. I divide this amount by the remaining shares that I have, to give me the extent by which they can go down from their cost basis before I just break even.

Of course, I ignore the capital loss advantage that I will get if I did sell the remaining shares at a price below their cost price. If I factored that, things would be even better in reality for me than what my method says.
