    nah it's going to vary - it's not a hard set number, I think the initial stop is below a PSAR or ATR, which will vary in price

    the breakout system is the one system that uses a stop initially out of the mean reversion systems, the mean reversion systems do not use a stop at first, until you get a mean reversion bounce. 

    and I guess technically the breakout is not really a mean reversion system, I just have it with that mix. The breakout system has a ton of logic to it, one of the main things it uses for entry is the ADX with +DMI and -DMI - it looks for +DMI and ADX expansion
