A very small percentage of my trades ever hit the full stop. My system requires a wide stop in order that trades can have room to move, as I buy...
Why wasn't Investor RT included in the list? There are a number of traders on this site who backtest with IRT.:confused:
I look for a 4% gain, a 10% stop, or out after 5 days if neither of those are hit. When price hits a 4% gain, I hold until the close of the day,...
