How you trade a day
Your stop over 60 days
Type in how you trade and your daily stop, and press the button.
Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it. Risk warning
Educational only, not financial advice; trading involves risk.
What a daily stop does, and what it does not
A daily stop cannot make a losing strategy win, and it does not change the odds of the next trade: the market does not know you had a bad morning. If every trade were the same coin flip, a stop would only cut the worst day and, with a real edge, give up a little profit from the trades it skips.
Traders are not coin flips. After two or three losses many take worse trades: bigger, faster, outside their plan, to win it back. A stop ends the day before those trades happen. Put a number on it in the box above and compare the rows: at a drop of ten points, a stop at two or three losses usually lifts the middle result, not only the worst day. See an example with tilt.
How to set yours
- Put it inside any limit your account has, often at half of it, so the worst day leaves the account open.
- Count it in losses, not money: two or three full losses is a common choice. Then write it into your trading plan and run each trade through the pre-trade check, which blocks a trade past it.
- See what the same numbers do over a longer run in the drawdown simulator.
Not advice and not a forecast. The answer is arithmetic on the numbers you type, not a test of a strategy. Baroq's own gold strategies are judged on real prices after costs on the record.
