During the operations of our service since June 2006 we have observed that traders often like to use different stop-losses for our selections. We have had success with our selections with both 0.3% stop-loss and 1.0% stop-loss. Some traders believe that a good trade should work immediately and thus prefer using a tighter stop and the 0.3% stop fits this approach well. Other traders prefer to give their trades more room and with a 1% stop loss, they have fewer losses, but at the same time assume more risk. Our team has always used a tight stop-loss (0.3%) but both options work well and we would prefer that each trader makes his/her own decision. Both statistics will now be given and traders are urged to use whichever stop that fits their trading methodology.
As of January 24, if a stock moves up 0.5% from the alert price, then the stop is moved to the alert price minus one penny (the old rule was that a stock had to move up 1% from alert price in order for stop to be moved up from 0.3% to alert price minus 1 penny). The motive for the change was to further reduce risk within the system. If our stock yields 0.5% profit from the alert price before reversing, then the fields will all be filled with "No". These basically will be scratch trades.
