1.3% Fixed Stop Loss and Nightly Patterns performance
As I described in the previous article, implementing one simple fixed stop loss of 1.3% would results in strongly higher performance.
13 less trades would not have been stopped out using this fixed stop loss instead of the more traditional volatility adjusted one.
Only 3 trades would have been stopped out of 244 nightly trades (1.23% of trades) (both long and short trades).
Considering all nights (only long) above 200 SMA, the frequency of trade stopped out was 1.29%.
The two frequency parameters are equal.
I attached the hypothetical results sheet of Nightly Patterns that shows about $40,000 of more profit (trading 10 contracts) than the usual ATR5 based stop loss approach.
1.3% fixed stop loss is the one I am using for the future.

Hello Brian,
When the rules I write on the alert mail triggers, the trade is entered 2 minutes before the close all the time.
Now, I am using a large fixed stop loss (1.3% from the entry price) instead the ATR based one. Exit all the times 2 minutes before the open, if not stopped.
Some traders do use take profit orders, but I prefer to let profits run.
If you have any further questions, I’ll be glad to answer.
