Risk ManagementBreakeven Stop
Moving your stop to your entry price once the trade moves in your favor.
After a trade moves 30-35% toward your target, move the stop to breakeven (entry price). This turns a risk trade into a "free trade" — worst case, you exit flat. Too early and normal retraces stop you out. Our engine triggers breakeven after 0.7x ATR of favorable movement.
