[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: Free Position Sizing Code

Tried out the volatility-based position sizing code. But calculating 
the stop price as you say below seems more atune to day trading... 

For longer term trades, the support/resistance levels give the stops, 
then the stops and max risk amount give the position size, no? How do 
I reconcile these two different approaches?

...and it's a 70 page article...
