<< Ben;
 
 How did you arrive at a 1.4% stop?  Did you research it back X number of
 years.  How did this work out during 1997 and 98?  How many times did
 you get stopped out?
 
 What was your draw down prior to obtaining the 1.6% ?

god morning
i use 1.4% from the  highest hi in last 2 days.,
this is suitable for  positionn traders of 1-5 buss days
for  real big accounts with  LONGER time frames like me.  i use  2.8%
(if a stock or commodity is to close 2.8% under its most recent  hi then the 
uptrend is
suuspect)
hope this helps
Ben
