ru2, My op. on the same issue: MAX trading is designed to stay fully invested in the same stock all the time...and instead of stops, the MAX signal is used to exit...and at the same time enter in the reverse direction. I have found that, as long as you are in a winner (the hardest part), and can avoid panicking at the inevitable whips (second hardest part), the most profitable way to trade is also the simplest: MAX signals only...no stops, no 3rd MA, etc. Having said that...we each have to modify the basic system to meet our own unique risk tolerance levels and return goals... As Ken is fond of saying...KISS!!! TC

Hi Ru2, You said <<It worked but I am looking for a more mechanical method that gives my emotions less room for causing trouble. >> I thought what i was using was a mechanical, for me. Thinking i may have missed something in my approach. Could you share what you feel isnt mechanical enough my method? ( Like you, i want to be purely mechanical ) You said your experiance with stops was differant then mine. What happened and what did you experiance? Was that with the pure 5/8 max or with your 3MAX? Thanks, Knyyt
