We have a hand off that's based on a couple of indicators
including our proprietary trending MA, that widens the stops.
From our backrest results it often gives you a lot more alpha.
Basically a tight stop when the trade starts, and then a wider stop
after it starts moving to allow more upside while protecting
profits.
craigm - TSLA updated on the table - remember you can always
refresh that page. There is a delay I think of 10 min or so for
signals. I don't see a test message for TSLA, I'll monitor and see
if it shows up soon and of course James look at these messages when
he starts so he'll investigate as well
that said for stops - real time notifications shouldn't matter
or are not really needed because stops are communicated previously
and should already been in and doing its job. Basically you
are not waiting for the system to send an SMS to exit - your stop
should already have been in place from the previous notification
communicating the stop
yes - and you have the details beforehand - the stop is
communicated previously, so you should know where it is already,
regardless if you are setting the stop or using it as a mental one
- real time stops being hit notification isn't really required
because you should have the stop written down previous if you are
using mental ones or already set at broker as it was communicated
previously
The entries and new STS stops are important notifications, but
once the system is in a trade, you simply use the STS stops, I
don't think folks should rely on an SMS for a stop as they already
have the info or have it set in their broker from the previous
notification
Thanks Matt and Digi - good points (it was an options
trade BTW). A best practice (which I should have done) will be to
set an alarm off my charting service when not using hard STS stop.
Good learning exp.
Matt as far as high perf system SMS alerts, do we get SMS for
all trades or only the ones selected as favorites ? I am getting
alerts on UPRO SSO URA which i did not add ( although i just added
UPRO SSO to my favs just a few minutes ago)
we discussed - right now it's everything, until James gets the
favorites to work.
I see that the favorites work now where the favorite stars stay
selected, however I"m not sure if he has the alerts limited to only
the favorites yet or if you are still receiving all of them - but
if not he should get that working today
also guys - I'm not sure if you are also seeing non high
performance SMS? I get a mix of them, the pop up alarms on the
trading community when one of the trigger alarms on the newsletter
trade ideas gets hit, SMS also sends those - they are not high
performance, they are simply those blog pop up alerts - which again
are not system buy and sell signals, they are simply alarms
We have a hand off
In the KISS systems what are the circumstances that cause ...

Hi James, looks like TSLA

Hi James, looks like TSLA 78M went flat. I had it as a favorite but did not receive the SMS. Did receive SMS for URA and SSO however.

Not everyone uses hard stops...especially options traders. Mental stops are pretty common. Good to know these details.

Looks like it's working for me after I reload the page, but I'll get it working so you don't need to reload.
