The stops are used for a single purpose: protection of the capital. They are to limit our losses, either, to protect our revenues. The stops are used based on a predetermined amount of money more than in market indicators.
The STOP of protection benefits. This strategy is not to use a trailing stop. If, for example, we want to put a stop of protection to 30 points from the current price and the market is moving in our direction, we don't have rather than move our stop of protection every 5 or 10 minutes. I.e. the trailing stop moves with the trend, but it does not change if the trend reverses direction. In the event of a good trend with good profits, we must adjust it more and more until we pull out of the market.
The stops can be used in forms and techniques with very different because ultimately it is something very personal, being much less necessary will be best our system and our entry and exit points.
In short, the stops are used to protect our CAPITAL and are points on which we indicate to the broker to sell our values. We put the case that we invest our capital in a value, we put a stop that tells the broker if this value drops 5% to sell everything wehave and we pull out of the market. If this happens, we limit our losses to only 5%. But also can be taken otherwise and that value goes up 10%, because we got our stop of protection 10% what we aseguraria a 5% profit. As the value goes up we got our stop of protection (order of sale at a certain price), and if the value drops to our stop of protection we sell and collect benefits.
