It's a two edged sword - sometimes good to have stop in place,
sometimes not. I do a mix, but mostly for STS tables, I place a
market stop. SMCI is an exception for me.
again - the STS stops on the standard tables are as of closing
basis, not a hard stop intra day. Other options are to use them as
a stop and if price closes back above go back long.
the high performance will use hard stops however. And yes
sometimes they get hit and prices rebounds, but generally these
systems will go back long quickly anyway - I saw this on UPRO and
SLV recently, where they hit their stop then went back long a week
later or a couple days later.
And sometimes the high per KISS systems will stop out intra day
ONLY to go back long again that same day at the close!
and as always even though the systems are good and preform over
time, traders can and should also review the stocks/ETF's on their
own charts, look at multiple time frames and you may elect to have
a different stop based on a trendline or major MA, or higher low
that you see on your chart.
again everyone has different trading style, goals, risk
tolerance, etc,
I added additional text to that post, but if you didn't see
it,
And sometimes the high per KISS systems will stop out intra day
ONLY to go back long again that same day at the close!
here's an example of that behavior where the KISS system was
long on the 345 minGC gold futures where I have the system
automated, hit the stop, then went back long on the same BAR! YOU
can see this happening twice here
