Questions & Answers

How to manage a Stop Orders for a Long Positions? When the ETF position is down trending and has crossed the moving average trend line, we place a stop loss order which is 5% from the highest closing price.

When to re-purchase equities after they have been stopped out? Long positions (investments) will sell off after they have crossed the 5% down trend threshold from the last highest closing price. Should the market correction continues lower, one would need to follow the down trend to recognize a reversal in the trend to re-purchase equities. At this time the 5% exit point is not valid anymore and as such a 3% tight stop from the purchase price should be used until a clear uptrend and new high closing price has been established, usually after a 5% gain from the lowest closing price.
