well, you've got to be the only guy I know that would find the drop of a $100 stock to 40 cents endurable. And then you blast TJ for it?  Give me a farking break duude.   Read up on the term "drawdown".

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Disable Fixed Ruin Stop (6)?

An intrusive, incomprehensibly ridiculous feature of this otherwise
great program. It completely ignores multi-leg positions.

A bizarre example I posted earlier: as I incorporate options in my
positions, while my long leg makes $2 , my short leg is amputated
with a $0.20 loss because of this Ruin Stop.

But even without that, when my $100 stock has dropped to 40¢, is
it really time to sell? To limit my losses?? Absurd!

Unfortunately, few users seem to empathize. A short discussion via
customer support also stranded with no result. 

A quote from Tomasz in an earlier message:

> Currently ruin stop has precedence over all other kinds of stops.

Let's hope the next release will have a switch to simply kill it. May
the program enhance our possibilities, not limit them by
pre-conceived notions about old days risk management.
