I have to look it up, there's also an ATR trailing stop involved, i.e. if price is below that it's more aggressive about holding longer.  For one it would stop out if %K went above 83%, so it's a tight stop if wrong.  2. Profit exits can occur if RSI falls to a certain level or %K crosses back above %D, or price goes below an ATR and then comes back above it. 

    The last short gave up some profit as it exited after the market bounced, the best example of that trade is in May 2012, that was a very nice one

    so regarding the SPY system

    so regarding the SPY system and the 60 Stochastic short, if the market were to reverse from here that short trigger would trigger as %K is now at 78.11%, so it's in the tight range.  HOWEVER price must pause and start to reverse from here on the daily chart and close down say Monday, the %K needs to cross below the %D basically to trigger.

    Otherwise regarding that video I made yesterday, clearly that %K on the 34 or 60 Stochastic lengths is something to monitor, as long as it'a above the %D price will be strong, if it crosses however something to note.  Clearly it's not occurring yet

    Thanks. I'm always looking at

    Thanks. I'm always looking at better ways to establish exits on ES or any strategy. Thanks for sharing
