How To Decide What Should Be Initial StopLoss? (1/n)

Too Tight StopLoss Will get Stopped Out Frequently.

What Is Optimum StopLoss?

We Need To Generate Data on What is Called Minimum Adverse Excursion (MAE)

MAE Is The Max Amount By Which Trade Goes Against Us From Entry Point (2/n)

MAE Can Be Measure in Amount Or Percentage Or ATR. We calculate MAE In ATR so as to adjust for Different Volatility of Different Scrips. Here You Can See The Data for MAE in ATR For Our #Stock #Futures #Swing #Trading System For Long & Short Trades For December (3/n)

Visual Look Tells That Price Doesn't Go Against Us By More Than 2 ATR in More Than 95% Of Trades. So We Can Safely Take 2 ATR StopLoss For Our Trades From Entry Point. Also, More Than 90% Of The Trade Show Loss After Entry Which Can Be Used To Decide Level Of PullBack Entry (4/4)

This System is Based on 25Min TimeFrame & 75 Candle ATR. Every System Uses Different Entry Method, Different TimeFrame For Signal Generation & Different No Of Candles For ATR. So Don't Assume 2 ATR is Universal Stoploss. See What Suits Your System & Then Develop Own StopLoss (5)

#BollingerBand Squeeze Breakout

Sharing An Entry Set-up For Cash Market Since Cash Market Is Running Hot Currently

Bollinger Bands Are Volatility Bands with Centre line, Upper & Lower Band

Centre Line Is Simple Moving Average

Default Is 20 Period Simple Moving Average

Upper & Lower Bands are constructed by Adding / Subtracting Standard Deviation Values from SMA

Default is 2 Standard Deviation Away from 20 SMA for Upper & Lower Band

During Trending Phase, Bollinger Bands generally expand as Standard Deviation Expands in Trending Phase

During consolidation standard deviation drops, causing Upper & Lower Bands to contract towards centre line

This Gives the look like bands are getting squeezed, hence the name Bollinger Band Squeeze Breakout

Entry Setup occurs as below:

1. After Good Rally, Price takes pause, goes in consolidation of few weeks, typically 3-8 weeks

2. Bollinger Bands tighten or Squeeze, indicating volatility contraction

3. While bands are in squeeze, price rises to Upper Band

4. After Touching Upper Band, Price is Rejected

5. price Rejection creates Lower Low on Daily charts, which is called Bearish Fractal

6. High Point from Which price is rejected & creates Bearish Fractal become Breakout Point
