Unhappy Trailing stops

Hi all

What have you found works best for trailing stops?

I have tried:
- 2 times ATR trailing - low win ratio as many wins dont hit 2ATR

- 10-15 pips trailing - often miss big wins

- last higher low or lower high trailing - if on same time frame as entry often leaves a lot on the table if trade reverses, if on smaller time frame than entry often stops wins before they have a chance to grow large.

Your experiences?
