Notes
- There is no ideal entry technique. Using limit orders can cause you to miss some trades while using stop orders increases your risk slightly.
- If we look for a bullish move, we place a stop loss below the lowest low of the last 40 days. Once it moves above 50% of the trading range (equilibrium), we move the stop loss to the lowest low of the last 20 days.
- If we look for a bearish move, we place a stop loss above the highest high of the last 40 days. Once it moves below 50% of the trading range (equilibrium), we move the stop loss to the highest high of the last 20 days.
- Wider stop losses are better for long-term trading.
- If we have entered a long position, we will check every day for the lowest low of the last 40 or 20 days, depending on whether the price is above 50% of the trading range. If the new low is higher than our initial stop loss, we will move it below that low.
- If we have entered a short position, we will check every day for the highest high of the last 40 or 20 days, depending on whether the price is below 50% of the trading range. If the new high is lower than our initial stop loss, we will move it above that high.
- The lookback period is based on the knowledge from the lesson on IPDA data ranges.
