I proposed it in one of my clubs a while back but there was no support. I've done it for my personal portfolio, and know that there are two schools of thought on using this tactic.

I'd like to say that I've successfully and consistently used it near tops of a run or recovery, but that would be stretching the truth too much! But that would be the ideal time, IMO.

For example, a long time ago I bought ORCL after it fell hard on what I believe was excessive overreaction. I watched it slowly gain 40% or so, feeling proud of my pick. That's when I should have used a stop, but I didn't, and now I feel it's too late to sell.
