What Is the Risk of Setting the Trailing Stop-Loss Percentage Too Tight?

Setting the trailing percentage too tight significantly increases the risk of being prematurely stopped out of a trade by normal market fluctuations, or 'noise.' This results in missing out on further potential gains as the price continues its favorable trend after the small dip triggers the stop. It leads to poor trade efficiency and frequent small losses.
