Automated Exits

Quote from trhudson:

This may be because if you are trading the same number of shares, you are always risking the same $ amount per trade.

dollar trailing can be set on a per share/contract basis and also position size basis.

I find that most strategies that I use, benefit from wide stops. I like to give a trade room to play itself out.

Exits I seperate from stops. they mean very different things to me. for one short term system I have no stop and depend on mkt reversal to stop me out and start the other side.
