Volatility-Based Stops

Presented & recorded on July 26, 2016; presentation 38 min; Q&A 30 min (total 68 min)

Putting stops on your trades provides a clear picture of risk.  The key question is: where to put them?  Put a stop too far – and your risk stays high.  Put a stop too close (which traders tend to do) – and any random short-term movement will hit it.  All of us had a bitter experience of a whipsaw – getting stopped out and missing a profitable move that we were going to trade.

Kerry’s interest in market volatility led him to develop an original volatility-based method for setting stops.  His simple but effective formula allows him to place stops outside of the zone of normal volatility, where a random move is unlikely to hit his stop.  In this presentation Kerry shares his method – complete with the formula, charts, and numerous trading examples.

All classes are followed by a Question & Answer period.  The total length of a recording, including the Q&A, is slightly over an hour.  All recordings include a PDF of the presentation.
