Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been going over a wide variety of trailing stop strategies and trade exit approaches. These methods help you trail your stop to allow price action to dictate when you get out of the trade. いくつかのケースで, using a trailing stop can allow you to take advantage of trending markets and profit on a larger portion of the move. Today I want to go over 2 ways to exit the trade that are not “技術的に” a trailing stop at all. I’m talking about the Equity Stop and Percentage Stop.

しかし、最初に, I want to address a couple of comments I got on previous posts…

Programming Trailing Stop Strategies?

I was asked about the ability to program these trailing stops into an EA. This could be an expert advisor specifically used to apply the trailing stop strategy after the trade is live. Or this could be part of the overall trading strategy programmed into a complete auto trading robot. Since the rules are pretty straightforward, this should not be a problem at all.

If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you already know I am a big fan of creating expert advisors to take care of trade management after the trade is live. The hardest part of trading, 私の意見で, is managing the trade when real money is on the line. Automating this process with one of the trailing stop approaches I’ve gone over is the easiest way to take the stress out of trading and sticking to your rules.

Linear And Non-Linear Trailing Stops?

If I understand the question correctly, I got a question about stops that follow price in static increments (linear), compared to stops that take volatility into consideration and move the stop up quicker if the speed of price movement increases (non-linear). Here are some thoughts.

None of the trailing stop techniques I’ve described take into account the speed of the candle while it is forming. In truth, this is too complex for me to think about because I describe trailing stop methods you can use manually (or have programmed). I don’t know how I would take into consideration the speed of a candle while watching the charts, so I don’t specifically have a non-linear strategy for when the candle is live.

それは言われています, there are various trailing stop methods I go over that do take into consideration the volatility of the market on candle close. Most of the trailing stop methods I use are calculated on the close of each candle. Here are some examples…

Bullish Bar – Bearish Bar Trailing Stop:

Using this method, you move the stop the same number of pips between open and close or the candle when price moves in your favor. (Bullish bars for buy trades and Bearish bars for sell trades). This does take market volatility into consideration because the amount you move the stop is not static, but calculated by the size of the previous bars move. Bigger the move, bigger the stop loss move.

ATR Trailing Stop:

このシステムを使用してください。, you use the Average True Range indicator to determine the number of pips to move your stop. This can either be the ATR value itself, or the ATR value multiplied by 1.25, 1.5, 2, など. もう一度, market volatility is taken into consideration.

If you look back at the trailing stop strategies I’ve gone over, a lot of them trail price action taking market volatility into consideration. They are not just moving the stop a static number of pips. And remember, using a trailing stop is always going to follow price action and give up a little profits when the trade is closed out. The trick is to follow price to lock in as much profits as possiible, without following too closely and getting stopped out too early.

OK, let’s go over 2 trade exit approaches, that are not really trailing stops….

Equity Stop

This strategy is for traders who have many trades on at any one time. It is really not that useful if you only have one trade on at a time. だから, imagine you have a daily profit target of $500 と 5 trades running. You would set the Equity Stop to close all trades once you reach the $500 マーク.

Even if you have 3 trades winning and 2 losing at the time you reach $500, all the trades would be closed. This way you guarantee you hit your daily price target. Using the Equity stop, you can set up a daily target and exit all trades when the dollar amount is hit, regardless of the state of the trades at the time.

Percentage Stop

This is similar to the Equity Stop, but using percentages. If you have a trade plan with a percentage goal, you can use a Percentage Stop to exit all trades once this percentage has been reached. もう一度, all trades are closed when your percentage gain is reached, regardless of the status of the trades.

Some traders maintain the trailing stop as a percentage of the price.

たとえば, if you have a goal of 1.5% 1 日あたり, you would set the Percentage Stop to exit all trades once your trades reached 1.5% of the balance, regardless of the state of all the trades.

These strategies are really not trailing stop approaches. But I thought this was a good place to put them as you are using something other than price targets to exit the trade. Both strategies should be able to be programmed into an EA.

This pretty much ends the series on trailing stops. If you have something you want me to talk about, or something you think I missed, 以下のコメントを残してください。.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been going over different trailing stop systems. Using a trailing stop allows you to let price action dicatate when to get out of the trade. In non trending markets, using a trailing stop can reduce your risk or get you out of the trade with a small gain.

In trending markets, the trailing stop can safely keep you in the trade longer for larger gains.

Today I want to go over two trailing stop systems, the Bullish / Bearish Bar Trailing Stop and the Round Number Trailing Stop.

Bullish / Bearish Bar Trailing Stop

This trailing stop method is interesting because it not only moves the stop in your favor, but uses market volatility to determine how much to move the stop. This is beneficial because when big moves happen in the market, a larger portion of the winnings is locked in. In times of lower volatility, the stop does not move as much, or at all, which possibly keeps you in the trade longer.

For a buy order, the stop loss is only moved if the next bar upon close is a bullish bar. The stop is adjusted the same number of pips as difference between the open and close of the bar. たとえば, if the difference between the open and close is 32 pips up, you would move the stop loss 32 pips up. If the next bar is bearish, the stop loss is not moved at all.

Here is an example of a buy trade…

写真で見ることができます。, ストップロスを移動しました。 4 回, corresponding to the 4 bullish bars that occured after the trade was placed. Each time the stop was moved, it moved the same number of pips as the number of pips for the bullish bar from open to close. This trade resulted in locking in 95 pips before being stopped out.

For a sell order, the stop loss is only moved if the next bar upon close is a bearish bar. The stop is adjusted the same number of pips as the difference between the open and close of the bar. たとえば, if the difference between the open and close is 45 pips down, you would move the stop loss 45 pips down. If the next bar is bullish, the stop loss remains in the original position.

Here is an example of a sell trade…

写真で見ることができます。, the stop was moved 4 回. Each time there was a bearish bar, the new stop location was calculated from the bars open to close pip numbers. This trade resulted in locking in 166 pips before being stopped out.

Round Number Trailing Stop

Round numbers are price levels that end in 50 と 00. 覚えています。, price action is determined by the action of traders, which are human beings. Levels that end in 50 または 00 have a strong psychological effect. このために, these levels make for strong support and resistance levels. They also make for good triggers to move your stop loss.

There are indicators on the Internet that mark these round number levels. Instead of the grid normally found on the charts, you would see lines at the 50 と 100 レベル. These are important psychological levels and you’ll see price react to these levels quite often.

If you are on the lower time frames (anything below H4), I recommend using the 50 levels as your stop loss trigger. If you are trading the H4 or higher, it is probably a better idea to only use the 00 レベル. 基本的には, on the lower time frames you will be trailing your stop by 50 ピップ, and on the higher time frames by 100 ピップ.

Here is how the round number trailing stop works…

When a candle crosses a round number level and CLOSES on the other side, move the stop to the previous round number level. Since the round number levels are good support and resistance levels, it is a good idea to move the stop to just below (for a buy trade) or just above (for a sell trade) の 50 または 00 レベル.

次に例を示します。…

写真で見ることができます。, the trailing stop was moved 6 times and placed slightly below the round number line. I used a round number indicator I found on the web for this example. I set the round numbers to 100 to only show levels ending in 00 since this is a daily chart. Each time a candle closed above a 00 ライン, I moved the stop to slightly below the previous 00 ライン. これは、結果、 545 pips being locked in before being stopped out.

In the next installment, I want to go over two more strategies. These are not really “末尾” stop systems, but two ways to exit trades once triggered that don’t hit the stop loss or take profit levels. In the meantime, leave a comment with your thoughts on my trailing stop ideas.

今日はトレーリング ストップ戦略の我々 の議論を継続したいです。. 覚えています。, トレーリング ストップが削減し、貿易はあなたの好意に行くしたら、リスクを排除する方法です。. 市場に利益を与えることではなく, 大きな利益を見ると利益でロックできます。. この記事で, 移動平均、パラボリックの SAR 末尾ストップ戦略で行きたいです。.

移動平均のトレーリング ストップ

移動平均は、与えられた時間期間の価格の平均値を表示するために使用一般的指標. 移動平均はトレンドの方向と運動量を決定する通常使用されます。. たとえば, 価格は上記のかどうか、 50 移動平均をトレンドで市場を考えることができます。. 価格は以下のかどうか、 50 移動平均, 下降トレンド市場を考えることができます。. 移動平均も、トレーリング ストップとして使用することができます。, 私たちが見ているであります。.

トレードを終了する移動平均を使用する 2 つの方法があります。. 最初の移動平均位置を使用してあなたの停止をトレイルすることです。. 2 番目がクロスし取引を終了するシグナルとして移動平均の向こう側にろうそくの閉じるには.

トレーリング ストップとして移動平均を使用してください。

このシナリオでは, 移動平均の位置を使用して、あなたのストップをトレールする場所を決定するには. 貿易が進むと移動平均の位置の変更, それぞれのキャンドルはすぐストップを追う. この方法では, 停止損失の価格を以下し、貿易が終了すると価格を逆に停止損失を取る十分な.

ここでは、単純移動平均に設定の使用例です。 13.

画像で見ることができます。, オレンジ色の線は移動平均です。. これで売買します。, 貿易の進行, 移動平均がろうそくの火の近くではどこによると停止を移動します. 移動平均値が高い, 多くの部屋を与える価格行動. 移動平均の値が小さい, 価格行動に近いあなたの停止を遅れを.

移動平均を使用して貿易を閉じる

これは移動平均を使用して取引を終了するバリエーションです。. 次の価格ではなく、それぞれのキャンドルを終了後に移動平均を使用してください。, キャンドルが移動平均線をブレークした後のみ貿易を終了し、反対側を閉じます. これは潜在的価格を余りに密接に末尾が場合に発生する可能性があるランダムな価格行動によって早期に停止されてからあなたを保つことができます。.

ここでは、単純移動平均期間の設定を使用して例 3 シフト 3. このような私 3/3 移動平均したこの戦略価格のアクションに近いので, 必要な休憩と取引を終了するキャンドルの閉じるので素敵な利益のこと.

写真で見ることができます。, ピアスの価格、 3/3 貿易の初めに何回か平均を移動. いない終了した貿易価格は移動平均の反対側に交差し、すぐをやったので、. 下部に, 価格の交差や移動平均の反対側を閉じるとき, 貿易を閉じるだろう.

パラボリックの SAR 末尾の停止

パラボリックの SAR (停止し、逆に) 市場の潜在的な反転ポイントを見つけることができる指標です。. 価格はアップ傾向があるとき, SAR ドットは価格の下に配置します。. 価格はダウン トレンド時, SAR ドットは価格の上に配置します。. キャンドルの終了時, 次のろうそくの SAR 値が計算されます。. これは良いトレーリング ストップの SAR ドットを使用して、します。.

ここでは、ステップの既定設定を使用して例 0.02 最大 0.2.

写真で見ることができます。, 買い注文があります。. 価格の下に新しいパラボリックの SAR ドットが表示されるたびに, ストップロスを移動しました。. これは、結果、 15 最終的に停止する前に停止損失の移動します。 300 ピップの利益.

パラボリックの SAR インジケーターを使用して、取引を終了する別の方法は、単に反対のパラボリックの SAR ドットを得るときに取引を終了するには. だから, 上記の例で, ドットが価格の上に価格の下であることから切り替えたときに取引を終了だろう.

次の記事で, トレーリング ストップ戦略の別のカップルで行きたいです。. 私にコメントをしたい私はそれを行っていない任意の末尾停止メソッドがある場合, 以下のコメントを残す.

We’ve been having a discussion about trailing stops over the past couple of posts. I wanted to continue that discussion by going over a couple more trailing stop techniques. Today I want to go over the X Candle High / X Candle Low and Average True Range trailing stop techniques.

Trailing stops use price action to determine when to exit the market.

The purpose of moving the stop is to reduce risk, eliminate risk and lock in profits.

Let’s go over the specific techniques.

X Candle High / X Candle Low Trailing Stop Technique

This technique uses a set amount of closed candles in the direction of the trade to determine where to move the stop loss.

A good number of candles for this technique is 2 または 3. The more candles you use, the more room you give the market to move. The lower number of candles you use, the more closely you are following price action. この例のために, let’s use 3 candles.

For a BUY trade, you use the lowest low of the past 3 closed candles as the area to move your stop. In a SELL trade, you use the highest high of the past 3 closed candles as the area to move the stop. Whenever a candle closes there is the potential to move the stop. Only move the stop in the direction of the trade.

Here is an example of a BUY trade…

写真で見ることができます。, you look at the last 3 closed candles and place your stop at the lowest low. Every time the lowest low of the last 3 candles goes in your favor, you move the stop to lock in more profits. この例では, the stop was moved 11 times before finally being stopped out with 349 ピップ.

Here is an example of a sell trade..

写真で見ることができます。, you look at the last 3 closed candles and move the stop to the highest high. The stop loss was moved 7 times and locked in 267 利益のピップ. Since the stop loss has not been hit yet, you would continue moving the stop in this fashion until the stop is hit.

Average True Range Trailing Stop

The Average True Range (ATR) indicator measures the volatility of the currency pair. If the degree of price volatility is high you will get a higher number. 反対に, if there is not a large degree of price movement you will get a lower number. Many traders like to use the Average True Range to determine stop loss size, or how close to trail the stop.

The theory is, if you are in a volatile market, you’ll need a larger stop loss to keep from getting stopped out by random price movement. If the market is not volatile, you can get away with using a tighter stop. Traders use the average true range as is, or multiply the average true range by 1.25, 1.5, 2 or some other number.

The Average True Range trailing stop strategy is just like the X Pip strategy I talked about in the previous post. Once price goes in your favor, you move the stop based on the close of the candle. この場合, we use the average true range value, or a number based on the average true range multiplied by 1.25, 1.5, 2 or some other number. Every time another candle closes, there is a potential to move the stop loss if that means moving your stop in your favor.

Here is a photo of the Average True Range…

The Average True Range indicator is the blue line at the bottom. To find the value, put your cross-hairs on the line and look to the right to find the value. This is the value you use to calculate the trailing stop loss value. Ever time there is a closed candle, find the ATR value and figure out how close you want to trail the stop. If the value moves the stop in your favor, place the stop at that value.

Next time I’ll go over a couple more trailing stop techniques. In the meantime, if you have a favorite trailing stop method, 以下のコメントを残してください。.
