Buy Stop at trigger price with Sell Stop.

Jason Hubert asked 2 years ago
I work full time job and mostly not able to watch key list for breakouts.  I need to set buy stop orders to fire when it hits the trigger breakout price. I realize I am not going to be able to see the quality of the breakout in terms of volume push and strength , I suppose that is just something you need to concede to placing an order like this.  The question I have in regard to placing a buy stop order like this is where I should also have it automatically place a sell stop to protect me. Again, while I am working I may not see any of this action until I get home from work and the market is closed.  Is there a best practice for this sell stop such as 3% or would you determine a stop price based on the individual stock itself and have that entered as your stop criteria to be placed once your buy stop has filled?   Thanks for all you do.
