LG, Thanks for the input/feedback. My fear of using these trailing stops is that the stock is volitle and they always seem to come and pick me up. My trade is $1.2+/- in the money. If we really rally from oversold positions (ie. the indicies turn up today - not unreasonable), Ciena should lead the way as it had a very positive mention on CNBC from an analyst who says they will make their number and keep projections of earnings for the coming year. Any other thoughts are very welcome! Thanks in advance, Steve D.

<<As the trade begins to extend in a profitable direction begin a tailing stop loss
point loose at first and as the trade continues to extend in a profitable direction tighten as your profits rise.>>

My thoughts exactly.What I've been doing of late is getting 5-9% profits intraday and selling with 3-5%.Those days of letting profits run just ain't here on most trades.This has been a reconditioning process and I've been slow to adapt.Thanks for sharing your experience.
