There
is nothing theoretical about it. Keep in mind that Bob is talking about
trading the ES (emini S&P) on a very short term basis. This is a very
liquid market and leveraged market so he is probably only holding out for say 5
or 10 point moves (.5% or 1%). Thus, the stops he is talking about make
complete sense.

I can't image ever staying in a
(real) position with such a tight stop or is this just
theoretical?

Subject: [Metastockusers] Re: Stop
%
Thanks for the response Joe,I was able to optimize
the stop using %, but in a system test(not optimizing the stop), I was
not able to set the stop to less than 1%.In fact if I set it to 0.51 to
0.99% it automatically reverts to 1.00%. And if I set it to
<0.50% it automatically reverts to 0.00%!Anyone try
this?Bob--- In <A
