Example strategies
Targets are in R, the distance from your entry to your stop.
Scale out#
- 3ROn Binanceclose the rest
- 2ROn Binancetake 50% off
- 1ROn Binancetake 33% off
- entryYour fill
- −1ROn Binance
The stop stays at −1R, so a reversal after 1R loses on the last two thirds.
Breakeven, then run#
- 3ROn Binanceclose the rest
- 1ROn Binancetake 50% offmove the stop to break-even
- entryYour fill
- −1ROn Binance
Set Break-even means to the whole trade at zero to count the half taken.
Break-even only#
At 1R, move the stop to break-even. At 2R, close the position.
A stop move alone puts no order on Binance. HookTrader moves the stop when it sees price reach 1R.
Add to a winner#
At 1R, add 50% to the position, then move the stop to break-even. At 2R, take 50% off. At 3R, close the rest.
Without the stop move, only the first entry is covered. See Adding to a position.
Trail with the Signal Connector#
At 1R, take 33% off. At 3R, close the rest.
Set the connector's Trailing Stop Mode and Activate Trailing After TP 1. Each trail alert tightens your stop. See Set the stop and targets.
