Is Moving Your Stop To Breakeven a Mistake?
We discuss:
- Similar to taking partial profits, moving a stop to breakeven is more about psychological comfort
- Profitable trading requires tolerating discomfort, as difficult as that is at times
- It seems like a simple idea to test, but it quickly adds significant complexity to a backtest
- How to actually test this in a backtest
This is a great example of the platitudes you often hear from people who are good at talking about trading, but don't actually trade.
