Understood. I worked at Merrill under an advisor that used 90% trailing stops, but we had to do it manually everyday in all of the clients accounts. Ridiculous I know. If we know that a lot of people keep their stops at 90%, would it make sense to put them at 89% or even 85%? It seems like...

Interactive brokers I think has a trailing stop order

Nice thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it.

Hello, I am completely new to programming. The only programming I've ever done is "hello world" in excel. I want to write a program to raise my stops sell orders. I run a 90% rule for my equities. I only raise my stop sells. Never lower them. I keep it at 90% of market. Can someone help...

I like that. Very insightful. Frankly I probably could tell.

Thanks for the reply. I just don't like to give away. Not yet anyway. Plus it would take too much time and effort to share it with the whole entire public world, not just one person. Long short strategy, best companies based on fundamentals and worst companies based on fundamentals. That's...

Thanks man, a million dollars isn't much to manage by the way. A Billion is more like it. I just wanted to see what the forums response would be to a long short strategy in today's market. Thanks for the reply. Good luck.

Haha. Right there. I'm not too concerned with Grammer in these informal forums. Also, I think my math makes up for any spelling errors I make. Thanks for the response.

No super short term tracking I wanted to see what the forum thinks of a long short trading strategy.

I'm an RIA. You might be surprised.

It's not really 50/50 there's about 200 long positions and 80 short positions. I think that ratio gives me a good idea of the market conditions. The more shorts the weaker the market. Since we're in a relatively strong market that ratio makes some sense.

I agree.

I agree. I use a number of fundamentals. I can't tell everyone the exact strategy. But I'm going to keep tracking and updating. I think in the long run it should play out very well.

Thanks man
