What are the recommended values for profit and loss caps?
Tuesday, 12 February 2008

The values that you assign to these variables depend on the your risk tolerance and also the system you trade with. While we do not recommend a specific value we suggest that you test it on a demo account for a while to come up with the best settings. We currently use the following settings for our live account.

 

profit_cap= 5

loss_cap=5

cap_dollar_flex=10

 

We may change these values in the future without notice. Since the settings are discretionary these are not recommended values.
