If you select the Percent method, no matter what parameters you
choose, you will either get an exit the day after you enter the trade,
or you will never get an exit. I am not sure what the exact problem
is. After some testing, Metastock support confirmed to me that the
problem exists.

Two workarounds:
1. Use Points for the Method
2. Enter your own exit formulas, as Jose suggested.
