Thanks, glad you agree: for one who finds his $100 stock dropped to
40¢ a Ruin Stop is useless.
The problem is more realistic in complex leveraged positions, one
that trades for 50¢ today, $1 tomorrow and 30¢ the day after.
Hats off to a backtester that has closed your short at $1. Merci!!
Thanks for thinking along!!
No need to follow the details, my friend. My estimated bottom
line: for 99.96% of users the Ruin Stop is useless, for the remaining
0.04% it's a hindrance. It shouldn't be there, period.
But as a compromise: just let me switch it off while you can keep it
on. Could it be more fair ???
