Let's say you are in a trade...

Price reaches a volatile stage, such as 1.6000 about the EUR/USD, would it be wiser to twist your stop in order to stop losing a lot of profit fast if a break downward, or could it be more difficult to widen your stop in order to remain in the trade and avoid whipsaws for a possible upward fracture?

I know the answer will probably depend on the personal trading style and procedure, however I would like to hear some input from folks about how they manage this. Any ideas?

I personally feel that you need to figure out the probability of an up fracture occurring and you also need to figure the possible profit that may be made if you remain in the trade for that scenario. You must figure out the likelihood of the loss you'd take and a break. And determine whether over 20 trades if not widening or trimming your discontinue would be more profitable. But doing each these things is not?
