Stops is our software tool for calculating the changing stop-loss settings of a rising stock. One problem traders and investors face is how much to let a stock decline before selling. Most investors, if they use stops at all, lose too much when their stops are triggered. The stops are set too close or too far away. The excess losses could easily add up to 10% a year. Our Stops tool addresses this issue. The ideal stop-loss setting will minimize the loss if the stock plummets but still give the stock room for normal fluctuations while it continues to climb. Stops includes a “Stop-Lab” where you can experiment with different settings and see the effect of those settings on a stock-chart covering over 5½ years of price activity. Stop-placement is indicated by a red line that changes as settings are changed. When you find the settings that work the best for you (that fit your investment time-horizon), those settings can be entered for each of 10 different stocks. Or, you can enter different settings for each of 10 stocks. Stops will then automatically compute stop-loss settings for you as you enter price data. Stop-losses can be based on a fixed-percentage decline or on the volatility of the stock. You can also generate stops that combine the fixed-percentage and volatility-adjusted approaches. The tool can calculate and use volatility measurements to reduce the chances of unnecessary selling because of random lurches of the stock. It includes 19 different ways to calculate a stop, each of which has an infinite range of adjustment possibilities (so you can adjust them to reflect your own tolerance for risk). It will use average deviations, standard deviations, formulas derived from Kase's definition of “true range,” and so on. Stops does all the math for you. This software tool is based on Microsoft's Excel spreadsheet. The fee listed here is for a one-year license to use the tool. The amount saved by better stop placement could pay the annual fee many times over. You can get much more information by clicking on "Stops" on the navigation bar (upper left side of the page).
