James Muninn(@Muninn):Moving your stop to breakeven when you're up 3-4R is indifferent. 1,625 of 6,150 breakouts got to +3R. Moving the stop to entry saved 354 that came back (+349R), and stopped out 136 that would have done better (-425R). Same story at +4R. So.. its a breakeven decision.

If your trade is up 3 to 4R and you still haven't moved your stop to b/e, you almost deserve to watch it come all the way back and stop you out. That's like winning the lottery, refusing to cash the ticket, and then complaining when you lose it.
