Default no trailing stop is better

I think using a trailing stop will make us lose our trades in the long run. This is because our profit target is uncertain and yet we have a certain stop loss. With a trailing stop, when the trade is right, our pip gain is still much less than our stop loss. Which means one wrong trade (hitting a stop loss) can undo our 5 or six right trades. It's a bad idea to have an uncertain profit target and certain stop loss.
