I will now look again at that stop loss matter to clarify things.
Examine the chart below >>>
Now study the notes below very carefully!!
The yellow area bounded by the 2 black lines, is an area where the MMACD
starts with an upward crossover thro the zero line so you would go long.
However, it finishes with a downward crossing of the zero line again thus shutting down your long trade with a loss.
In other words, you have been stopped out.
You can set a PCI stop loss in this yellow area but make sure that it is well away from the price action!!
Note that the PCI in this yellow area would never get hit.
Once the MMACD crosses into the light blue area (short) you remove the PCI.
The light blue area bounded by the black and pink lines, is an area where the MMACD starts with a downward crossover thro the zero line so you would go short.
However, it finishes with an upward crossing of the zero line again thus shutting down your short trade with a loss.
In other words, you have been stopped out.
You can set a PCI-2 stop loss in this light blue area but make sure that it is well away from the price action!!
Note that the PCI-2 in this light blue area would never get hit.
Once the MMACD crosses into the grey area (long) you remove the PCI-2.
The grey area bounded by the pink line and the end of the chart, is an area where the MMACD starts with an upward crossover thro the zero line so you would go long.
The price action keeps going up so the MMACD does not return to the zero line till much later when there is a profit.
In other words, you will not get stopped out.
You can set a PCI-3 stop loss in this grey area but make sure that it is well away from the price action!!
Note that the PCI-3 in this grey area would never get hit.ā¦unlessā¦there is a power, computer or internet failure.
Once the MMACD crosses back to the zero line, (much later), you then close the trade, count your profit and remove the PCI-3.
Note that you are setting a new PCI each time the MMACD crosses the zero line to form a new trade!!
