Description

This strategy enables you to specify the maximum amount of money you are willing to risk on any position, or on a single share. You can change the dollar amount at which you want to exit your positions. You can also have the stop calculate on a per share basis.

This strategy will only generate an exit from a short position.

   Long exit (“LX”) and short exit (“SX”) strategies do not generate exits on the bar of entry of a position. Other strategies can be used instead, if entry bar protection is needed. See comments in the strategy’s EasyLanguage code for additional information.
