The stop in relation to the targets are 1/1 for 80%, 2/1 return for 70%
probability and a 3/1 return for a 60% probability.   The dollar amount of the
stop is dependent upon the time frame you are trading.  It is obvious that if you
are trading a 3 min chart your stop would be far less then on a weekly chart.  the
system works on all time frames and has the same risk reward ratio in each.
Therefor you can set up a trade to suit your money management parameters and then
determine if it is a one lot trade on the daily chart or a 10 lot on the 15 minute
chart.
