That will be a personal judgement based on your trading style. What works for one won't necessarily work for another. Just experiment, collect data and make adjustments.

I do not set a stop loss. If the reason for buying or fundamentals change I sell, other wise I let it go until I have made a serious amount of money. With puts if the stock gets cheap enough I sell. If it goes to zero and the reason for buying has not gone away I buy another.
