IF it suits your risk tolerance, you could use a hard
stoploss: 6.5%, 10%, 15%, whatever you are comfortable with.
If your stoploss is triggered and you decide to exit the trade, you
could get back into the trade IF it generates a subsequent
entry signal. That's a lot of IFs, and you'd be deviating
from the system of course, but it's your choice, as has been
pointed out here before.
Fishbait's point is that Matt instituted a 6.5 stoploss after
the last trade. In his recent SPY discussion, he says that
he's changed his mind and is going back to the original system,
without a stoploss.
Since this last decision hasn't been announced in a separate
post, Fishbait is somewhat confused.
