You know your stop. You move it anyway.
The trade goes against you, you give it “a little more room,” and a -1R loss turns into a -6R disaster that wipes out four green days.
Respecting your stop is worth more than any new strategy
One futures trader added it up: $34,340 in losses came from not following his stop.
Not a bad system — just moving the line. You can’t fix what you refuse to look at.
The Solution
Risk management you can finally see
Every stop violation, instantly visible
R-multiple tracking flags any trade beyond -1R. Move your stop, and the data shows it.
Trade in R, not dollars
Switch your dashboard to R-multiple view to loosen the grip those dollar swings have on you.
Hard daily limits that actually stop you
Set a max loss in the Progress Tracker. Hit it, and you’re done — before the small losses bleed you dry.
