No, I don't use a trailing stop.

Yes, I enter with a 30-pip SL, and a 10-pip TP.

I haven't taken a loss yet, but I have had the price move against me by about 10 pips on two occasions. When that has happened, I have had my finger on the button, ready to exit if it goes further against me. If and when a loss comes, I expect it will be less than 30 pips, because I just won't let it run that far.

As for your theoretical 80/20 win/loss ratio, I like my actual 100/0 results much better.
