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.

    Hi James,  The sort by Favorites

    Hi James, 

    The sort by Favorites on the HP table is not working. Thanks

    I'll get it sorted, thanks

    I'll get it sorted, thanks for flagging it.

    Hi James, looks like TSLA

    Posted by craigm on 14th of Aug 2024 at 11:22 am

    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. 

    craigm - TSLA updated on

    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

    Not everyone uses hard stops...especially

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

    yes - and you have

    Posted by matt on 14th of Aug 2024 at 11:48 am

    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 -

    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

    Posted by arun on 14th of Aug 2024 at 12:01 pm

    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

    Posted by matt on 14th of Aug 2024 at 12:06 pm

    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

    I don't receive this.  Is

    I don't receive this.  Is this another setting I need to toggle?  I believe you are referring to the Trade Ideas section here.

    Looks like it's working for

    Posted by James_Roe on 13th of Aug 2024 at 10:45 pm

    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.
