 Don't know what you're looking to do, but how about...
 
 After entry, stoploss is below  prior day low + YxATR
 Move stop loss everyday to current or prior day low until break even
 Let the winner run and move stops below swing point lows
 
 Or maybe try this...

 Standard swing trading stuff.  You trail the stop unitl break even.  Then let her ride.  The position, assuming long, will move up and then pull back creating a swing point low, i.e. where most swing traders enter, and then simply move the stop up to that point after it resumes its up trend..
 
 Look at FCX from about July to Dec of last year.  You'll move the stop under at the swing low points.

 Hey four,
 
 Like your filters... can you make this one better? I am not realy happy with it.
 
 Who doesnt occasionally  mis-trust sell offs due to tea leaves etc.... and does not pull the trigger ?
 
 This filter tries to latch that event( the selloff) ....... and wait for a re-test and hold of the recent low after showing some sign of strength
 
 Sort of a short term double bottom. I think one could specialize in this pattern alone ,but..... say goodbye to "V" bottoms.
 
 Its easy to see where the stop should go .
 
 Add the trend phrase and you got pullbacks ? Well maybe a few....
